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.

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
