I'd agree.....but if your trying to get down to a decent sports profile and your starting rolling diameter was 55/18's what do you do? 35/20's?

Touche. You do have a lot of arch to fill. I was open to getting an AR-X, but the tan interior put me right off.

I believe that you can strike a decent balance between form and function. I'm not advocating a 215 on a 9, but a little stretch isnt a bad thing.

yup I agree....tan interior is shit! My interior is black though....so I haz winz! :P

Don't like stretch at all....I like sidewall....then I can play with tyre pressures! I need all the traction I can get.

I have to say the 245 40 19's on mine ride just as well as the 215 55 17's they replaced if they are any harsher it's is not noticeable but I put that down to the Bilsteins. I can really notice the lateral handling improvement with the extra tyre on the road. My 2 c.

Stretch has the gaids.

Anything under 8.5" wide is not even a worthy upgrade IMO.

And if your into handling, make sure your 20's are not Tempe tyres/ taleb tyres / ozzy tyres specials.

Stuff I could cast a better circle in my daughters sand pit!

Better have bucket of lead to balance the suckers to.

Really a well made 19" is the performance limit.

Anything over your adding to much Unsprung weight and tyres will cost you a heap.

Just my 3 cents

my 20" rims (Advanti racing) with tyres are 3.6 kilo lighter per wheel than the original 18" wheels that came from the Autech factory.

And yes whilst tyres can be expensive I can get Pirelli P-Zero Nero's that come out stock on a Porsche GT3 from factory for $420 each so you get what you pay for really.

(note: I couldn't see the point in paying that much for a tyre that's going to last half as long as my Phi's that are made in the same factory as Michellin's that handle beautifully for a fraction of the price)

also no balancing problems whatsoever

Im sure 18 x 9.5 with some decent offset, camber coilovers and fender love would suit nicely.

20" tyres are not in the world of performance.

19's are too pricey to be chewing through on the track all the time. Thus 18's appear to be the more optimal cost effective choice.

Yes 20's aren't really common in the performance range but there are a few on the market that can fit in that category like the Initial D rims (cant remember brand) or my advanti desires all though they look more of a luxury type wheel. Also not to mention R35's come out with 20's and the before mentioned Porsche GT3, yes they are not a directional tyre but that doesn't mean its not performance.

that's why I have the 20's for street and my stock 18's for the track which will be replaced for light weight track rims at a later stage because you can get proper performance tyres for that size.....

Love how these threads always get a little out of control. At the end of the day people all like different things. I my self run 19x9.5 +22, perfect fitment for my ride IMO. I also run a 225 40 R19 which most would not like but suits the look I'm going for perfectly.

Oh mate that sits perfect.

Thats exactly what i am after.

Being the odd size that it is and not having a bottomless pit of money I went with Kuhmo KU31's. They do the job OK, little noisy at times but because of the odd size it leaves little choice with out spending HUGE $$$

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
