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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
