I have 265/35 R18'S on mine, there is a little bit of room left and mine is lowered slightly, so you could always try. Just ask if the seller whether you can return them if they don't fit.

The other thing that is REALLY important is the radius of the tyres, the front and back have to match exactly otherwise you will have problems with the 4WD. You should check this between those these new ones.

slim matt: when you say radius do you mean the rim its self cause they are both 19" i think my biggest worry is the offset. Your ones have a lagger offset of +35 does that make them sit in more? and if these new ones are +22 does that mean they sit out more? and your saying yours have only a little bit of space left does that mean that mine will have shit all left?

the more negative offset, the further the wheel will stick out the guard.

so +22 will stick further out than +35, but +35 is a tad to much posive offset anyway for a gtr, that would suit a gtst

since the gtr has wider guards you need less offset to "fill" the guards, so with your gtr a +22 offset wheel that should sit fine.

imo something around the +10 to +15 offset would look good, without getting you into trouble

the radius is the rolling diameter of the rim and tyre wall height. Since your running both 19 inch rims just make sure you match up the correct profile if your having different width tyres cause the tyres wall height is determined by the profile and width of the tyre. If your not sure just run it past a tyre shop and they make sure its all sweet for you

cheers

265 is the width of the tyre in mm, 35 is the percentage of the width that the wall equals, ie 95.4mm. R means that they are radials and the 18 means the rim diameter in inches.You are worried about rolling circumference of the tyre(radius), if they differ between front and rear you have probs with 4WD.

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
