yes, they will fit, unless u have a really high offset. depending on the tyre, they will feel "spongy" when u start pushing the car around, a tyre with a stronger side wall would be ur best bet if you dont want this, it will reduce sidewall movement.

I've had a good set of 225's on my 7" wide rims on the front of my R32 GTS-T and I would recommend you not to fit 225 tyres! drives ok and you will probably never notice anything bad but there is a lot of side wall flex (tyre rolling off the rim) and my front tyres have gone bald on the shoulders purely from this while the middle tread appears almost brand new! ( I have a great wheel alignment and tyre pressure is always spot on). 225 on 7" = poor handling performance and bad tyre wear! Go for a 205! you will barely notice the 2cm loss of width!

Id run a 215/45 R17, simply because it's a very common size, and can be bought very cheap.

There's also lot's available 2nd hand, and being more common, the Better quality tyres are cheaper.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
