Hi Guys,

Was hoping someone could clarify what would be an appropriate tyre choice for 19x10.5 +15 wheels on an R34 GTR?

I was thinking 285/30/19 would fit best without rubbing (correct me if I am wrong), but my preferred tyre choice (Yoko AD08) don't come in this size.

Could anyone recommend another similar high quality brand and model?

Cheers.

i had the same dramas deciding tyres on my 19s.. i went with nitto NT05 275/30s.. i had on before that 275/35 and they rubbed.. i believe 285 30 would probably still rub, but i could be wrong there, as the rolling dia is to large i believe...

i now have 18s and run 295 30 with no issues.

So according to the willtheyfit.com calculator, it shows that a 285/30 tyre would be closer to the correct rolling diameter?

Was thinking S-04 Potenza's if 285/30 was the go

Yea your right, but i was more talking about a too larger rolling dia for scrubbing with a wide tyre etc...

i had to sacrifice a little rolling dia to fit 295s, worth it imo..

not sure if anyone has tried 285/30 on 19s?.. if they fit that would obviously be the pick.

I had 30 profile because I knew that a 35 profile had changed the overall rolling diameter especially for 285/295's. Mine are pirelli p-zero corsa asimmetrico 275/30/19



For eg a 285/35/19 for 10.5 wide rim is 682.1mm whereas mine now is 647.6mm.



This is because I didn't want to roll my guards or cut anything inside my guard either and the fact that I want to at least manage 90% of a full lock with no rub too.



285/30/19 might be borderline in terms of fitment. Even with my size and profile, when I lowered my car (very low) it became much more difficult to be "friendly" driving it.



Since then, I'm going to raise it a bit and fit a nice big brake kit soon :)

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
