Hey guys, i really want to buy these tyres as i know theyre really good, just wondering if a 9.5" te37 +12 offset rim would fill out the tyres good?

Ive been told 265 on some tyres look thinner compared a 265 tyre of a different brand which would look more wide, fat and agressive (even though they are still 265's), What would the falkens be wide or thin?

My other option is the toyo t1r's

iv tried these tyers they were "cheapish" but not too bad, looks FAT ASS from the back on my works rims n had ok grip except the fact that i was runing 18s made it very crap to take off and at the qmiles was spining way too much on 1st and 2nd too...

IMHO put it on ur rims n put it on the car then see if u wana keep it or tell them u dont like it..

crisis situation, should i go s03's, or f452's, or re55's in really good condition for less than $600 for all four).....application is street use

s03s are 285's

f452's are 265's

and re55's are 265;s

will the re55's look like a wider tyre cause they are semi slicks?

OK lets be practical this is what i do for my GTR. i buy nasty nankangs because.

1. the price is cheaper when you add tyre+balance+wheel alignment = cheaper than the rest.

2. I have not fixed my negative chamber and all GTRs will have this unless you spent $$$ correcting it. This means 30K or 1yr driving is all your going to see before your tyres are unroadworthy.

3. I have a grid dancer installed in my car its a electronic device about $250-300 I highly recommend this upgrade because of the shit tyres i use the grid dancer shifts the torque to the front wheels between 20-50% and man driving in the rain is no problem the crap nankangs perform like Yokohama Advans in the dry :-)

4. therefore the money i save from buying expensive one pair for the year i can buy 2 pairs of crappy tyres for 2years.

tip hard compound tyres will last longer but shit in rain and when cornering hard.

This is what i find that works for me, maybe not for you.

As i said 265 will definitely fill the rim - I actually want 245 on mine cause I have a R32gtr and fitting the damn things without scrubbing under the guards is a pain the rims are actually under the guards but tyre is wider.

offset has nothing to do with what the size of tyre goes on a rim. its the rim width that restricts you. offset is to work out if its going to touch the brake caliper and how much its going to poke out from the guards or how much dish you are going to get. correct me if im wrong.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
