Congratulations on an excellent thread.  Will read again.  When it makes sense.

Stock is staggered....

225/50/18 front 7.5" wide wheel

245/45/18 rear  8.5" wide wheel

 

Thats just for the SP.I believe.

NB 225/50 weird size, actually calculates to a slightly larger rolling diametre than the rears.

stock staggered size on the V35 is 225/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rear.  Rim specs are the same all round.

I had these on my sedan, but changed to 245/45/18 all round which looks fine.

I guess that doesn't help with how it looks on a V36 though..

S and SP have the same tyre sizes as they are both on 18's. The P runs 17's with 225/55 all round.

That weird 225/50 is why so many of us, me included, run 245/45 all round..

So what you really want is a set of 370Z 19's with the matching brakes.... That will give you some definite stagger...

245/40/19 9" wide

275/35/19 10" wide...

Have you had any issues with ABS or VDC or even scrubbing the suspension by changing the size of the front tyres?

Out of curiosity what tyres are you running ?

245/45 fit fine, no errors with lights or tyre scrubbing.. All just works as it should. Nitto Motivos, but will most likely change to Nitto Invo soon...

... and you are running those tyres on the original V36 wheels?

Yes indeedey... Was a very common thing when I got the car due to very very limited selection of 225/50 18 tyre choices...

My 245/45 look a bit 'balloony' slightly outside the rim. N.B. Old School G35 wheels on my 2007 V36 skyline..Pirelli Dragon Sport.

Kind of surprised that the idea of any tyre protruding past the rim looks 'balloony'.

Personally, I would prefer some protrusion so the tyres are first to touch a gutter rather than the rim, but then again, I don't like the stretched look. :)

Heres our new car, we are first Aussie owners.
Car came with theses wheels, looks like 9x18 front, 10x18 rear with 245/40 fronts, and 275/40 rears, looks cool.
These Nankang tyres  are hard as, so be getting replacements soon.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
