im running 225/40r18 and the tyre placard says to run 245/40r18s but the width of the tyre wouldnt make much of a difference

The height of the tyre, is proportional to the width.

That number 40, means 40% of the width.

IE, a 225/40 has a side wall that is 90mm

A 245/40 has a side wall that is 98mm

Once you start to factor everything in, that's a much smaller rolling distance, and it means for your car speedo saying 100KM/H, your car is going quite noticeably slower.

But I would say, you really need to convert the diff from auto to manual so that it'll all read correctly again, this would be the easiest and best way to fix your problem as well as changing tyres to the correct size.

The profile is actually a percentage if half the width.

So your 225/40 would be half of 225 and then 40% of 112.5 which is 45mm- 90mm sounded a little high for a 225/40!

Sorry but you are wrong. I can provide links to various tyre manufactures websites to verify that it is the percentage of the full width if the tyre if you like. you have to remember that the sidewall starts at the bead of the tyre. 45mm is small. For me it's the width of 2 thumbs, and given that the rim covers about 1 thumb width, I know that the tyres on my skyline were more than a thumb width from the rim

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
