Hi there fulla's.

Real keen to get some 18x10's (at least!) for my 32 GTR.

Completely undecided as to what type just yet, but aside from this, was just wondering if any of you guys have "stretch" fit semi slicks to your wheels?

By what I've read on this thread so far it seems as if stretching tyres isn't as popular over in Australia as it is here in NZ but thought I'd ask anyway.

I've got some Bridgestone RE540S 245/40/18's just sitting in my shed and wondered if I could put them to use on some 10's.

Obviously 245's will go onto 10's, and I used to have 235's on 10's on my old Cef, so the size thing I don't imagine being a problem.

The question being I guess, will semi's stretch?? Or are the side walls on them just too hard compared to your joe average street tyre?

Anyone had experience with this?

semi's dont like stretch, as u mentioned due to sidewall stiffness, cant give u a definitive answer, but i have fitted 215/45 potenza RFT's to a 17x9.5" with bead seats that are hard to seal (harder to stretch), it just took a lot of tries with the beat blaster.

just make sure u find a shop that has a bead blaster/baby elephant in case they dont go on normally.

Hey guys, currently got 225/45/17 front and 245/45/17 rear. Kind of clueless about all these tyre and wheel sizes and i'm trying to figure out how far off my speedo would be. I have an R33 GTS-T. Whats the stock tyre and wheel size? Wheels I think are 16x6.5 but what about the tyre? Should my wheels have some kind of marker for there size? Unknown set of Racing Harts. What are the effects of running different size tyres and different width wheels front to back?

Cheers

hi nisskid

AfterburnerBlack.jpg18 x 7.5, 18 x 8, 19 x 8, 19 x 9.5, 20 x 8.5, 20 x 10

will be appreciated

thanks

anyone got pics for ref of 18x9/10 +20 on a 32 4dr? also of 17x9 +18? Got a few sets of wheels to be tried on the new car soon :D

ive got a few pics that u should be able to work off:

17x10 +20 with 255/45 (with a 235 or so and dropped down, it would have slid in under the guards nicely):

need offsets mate, also there is no "correct size", once i have the offsets i can tell u what will fit, and how they will fit, but it's up to u to choose what u want.

Skyline model = R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 17inch

Wheel width =(F) 9inch (R ) 9inch

Wheel offset =(F) +17 (R ) +17

Tyre size =(F) 245/45(R ) 245/45

Modifications to fit = Still standard (needs lower profile tyres hehehe)

would look sick, guards would need a roll, but run with something like a 235/40 would look mint.

Awesome :cool: I just bought some Rays CE28N, only bad thing is ive already bought tyres in 265/35 ;) Ah well we all know they wont last long anyways so ill wrap some 235's on em next time ;)

Hey just after some advise.

i have a 34 4door gtt, at the moment she just has stock rims and standard guards about to get sum work emotions xd9s in the metal coat.

i want the 18x9+30 front and 18x10+38 rear wanting to get as much dish as i can but hearing different things from everyone sum say it will work sum say it wont

these are the tyres i've been told will fit 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 front and 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 rear

at the end of the day dont want to be caught out with nice rims that i cant use!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
