Wts 2X 225/45/17 Tyres For 2X 215/45/17 Tyres


Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have a pair of near new (done maybe 1500km) 225/45r17 federal 595 EVOs that I would like to swap for a pair of equally decent/grippy 215/45r17 with at least 50% tread.

I need to change down a size for clearance with my front guards.

I can get pics if required but they look like new, with very minimal wear.

I bought the wrong size so my loss is your gain

Let me know what you have, if tyres are very good I will also consider paying to swap the tyres, but straight swap is prefered

Cheers

Joey

I live approx 20min south of coolangatta

Just curious,but why don't 225s fit? Going by your username, you have an s13. I had 235/45/17s under my "plenty low" 180sx with no scrubbing. Both on 7in and 9.5in wide wheels.

I no longer have a s13 or s14, I actually have a r33 4 door now and 225s fit, but its my drift car and its a little too close for comfort and I dont want to risk destroying my guards any worse when I go to qr matsuri.

Im running r33 gtr rims, 15mm spacers and 15mm extended control arms (both due to inner clearance on lock)

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
