What's the biggest tyre size a 9 inch rim can take? I currently have 235's (45 profile) and they're too small, i'm getting wider ones. Is 255 the 'correct' size or can i go bigger? How will these choices affect handling/ride quality?

Thanks

255/40s would be the common correct size, the side walls still look flat aswell on a 9 inch rim.

wouldnt go bigger maybe 265s but $$ gets up there.

+1 i run 9 inch and use 255/40. 255 is wide enough plently of grip.

What tyre brand you thinking off?

Thanks for the advice. I'll def upgrade to 255's (i think i'll hang on to 45 profile...suspension jarrs the f**k outta me) in that case. If that's the 'correct' size then all's good. Also good to hear 265 can be done (GRIP!)

Cheers as

255 isnt too wide. I like the look of the fatter wheels behind and the grip it has to offer. I would like 265 even better but the money for it is insannee!! haha...

seen some skylines running 285.. now thats FAT and heavy on the wallet =( :rofl:

Also.. r338boy what suspension are you running? Im running hipermax D on the stiffest setting and profile of 40 isnt to bad in regards to the jar factor

    • Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
