265/35 is fine on a 10". The amount of stretch look will depend on the tyre.

E.g. my 18x10 came with Potenza TS-02, they look pretty stretched. I put Azenis FK452 on two of them and they have a little bit of stretch. Same size tyres 265/35/18.

The 595 RSR for the price cannot be beaten, they perform just as well as the likes of the Toyo R888 and they sit at almost $500 each. Don't be cheap and put decent rubber on the car. 100% worth it. Tyres are the second most important part of the car.

I was thinking achilles atr sport cause there cheap. I currently have federal 595s but they are going for nearly 300 each not worth it.

You're definitely getting ripped for those Federals. You can get KU31 for less than $200 each in 265/35/18. I got Falken FK452 for $180 each :P (check tempe tyres from time to time, cheap cheap. Contact Bob Jane for Dunlop Sport Maxx).

thats barely any stretch at all. ive got 245/35s on my 10s and thats still not that much stretch

Stance crowd?

The Bridgestones on my car at the moment:

I would not put anything less than 265 on a 10".

Just go by what the tyre manufacture recommends, I still don't understand the logic behind people stretching tyres, if you can't fit the rim under the guard buy wheels that fit, don't stretch tyres.

Not having a go at the OP btw, obviously a 10 will fit on a GTR but just so sick of seeing all this stretched tyre crap.

Both tyre sizes are listed as fitting a 10 for the rsr, so either is fine.

I don't have pictures of the Falkens, but they have broader shoulders compared to the Bridgestone and hence look a lot less stretched (no rim protector lip). Try ringing your local Bob Jane and ask for best price for Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. My local said Bob Jane has a deal with Dunlop to get cheap tyres. If not, look at shipping in from tempe/st george/ozzy or similar.

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
