Bought a set of genuine LMGT4s from n15mo and now in need for some rubber.

Could someone recommend me some tyres and also give me a breif explanation on how the size thing works? eg xxx/xx/xx?

The specs of the wheels are:

19x 8.5 +25

19x 9.5 +30

Looking for some slimline tyres so I don't have to roll my guards. Also I'd like to have some super grippy tyres that won't turn my car into a jetski when it's pissing down.

Preffered Brands:

Kuhmo

Yokohama/Advan

Federals - apparently they don't make the right size for the specs of the wheels

I also don't want the tyres to be less in width than the rim itself (where it sticks out of the tyres like most "JDM" cars), don't want the rims to get rashed if rubbed lightly on kerbs.

was wondering what you were on about with the title, tyres make much more sense!

So you don't want stretch, good move, my nismo's are 19x9.5+30 all round & came fitted with 245/35/19. Just enough stretch that the previous owner managed to scuff the passenger side ones, have now swapped the rears to 275/30/19 which has a nice square sidewall & plenty of protection. Fronts will most likely be going to a 255/30/19 after chrissy.

So decoding tyre sizing, for example 245/35/19. The '245' refers to the width of the tread (245mm), the '35' means the sidewall is 35% of the size of the tread (so 35% of 245 = 85.75mm) & the '19' means its a 19 inch tyre.

As far as what you can fit you might need clarification from someone with an r34 but for the fronts I'd be considering a 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 and for the rears a 265/30/19 or 275/30/19. May need a roll for the 275, I did, but again check with someone else with a 34.

245/35R19 and 275/30R19 are stupid sizes to run on an R34.

Factory tyre size is 225/45R17 (Diameter ~634mm)

On the front run either a...

225/35R19 (OD ~640mm)

235/35R19 (OD ~647mm)

On the rear run either a...

255/30R19 (OD ~636mm)

265/30R19 (OD ~641mm)

I'd personally run 225/35R19 and 265/30R19, these are available in plenty of decent brands and tread patterns. 245/35R19 will not only look like arse on a 19x8.5 wheel but is 20mm taller than factory!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
