Hey everyone, been along time lurker of the forum and finally needed to make an account to ask for some help. I have some Work XD9 18x10 + 18 on the way for my R32 GTR. What tyre size would you guys recommend? I'm guessing I will need to roll the guards flush. Any pictures of other gtrs with 18x10 would also help. Thanks in advance!

265/35/R18 Federals is what I would use.

Rolled rear and front.

Plastic inner guard on the front will receive scrub on slow full lock.

I'm sure folks will also advise 275 and 285's as well :/

How you like it to look is up to you.

Edit: there is a whole thread with many pages and pictures you can look at too

i have the same rims on my 32 gtr, have 265/35 hankook z221 semi slicks. Awesome tyre, never driven a car with so much grip.

Definitely have to roll the guards tho, rears were the worst on my car. Fronts are a pain to roll as i still have the guard liner in.

Hey guys - I'm looking at the same thing, do work XD9's come in 9's?

I don't like that little bit of stretch on the 10's, and any wider a tyre and they scrub.


I like my sidewalls straight up from the rim, no stretch and no shoulder bulge.

Anyone got pics?

I'm running 18x10 Volk Engineering Rims, with 255/35/18 Federal RSR semi slicks, on a R32 GTR. Pretty low but not stupidly low - Still scrapes the exhaust on speed humps ha! That being said, the front left chewed out the inner left front guard plastics! No guard work at all.

Piiiiics please. :-)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
