People, any ideas on what cat would fit 205/50/16 tyres, assuming std wheels? I know this sounds topsy turvy but I'm thinking of buying rims that are right for me that come with tyres that are slightly undersized for me. I hope to sell the tyres, and to know what they will fit or be suitable for would help.

Any suggestions?

hi.

what u r asking is will 205's fit on a std skyline rim?

im pretty sure they would! but i wouldnt go and smaller in the tyre dept. std rim width of a skyline 16" rim, is 6.5''..

ive seen 225's and 215's on a std rim. i cant see why they cant be stretched to fit. a tyre shop could tell u.

I think that's the standard size tyre for a 32 gtst.

Only problem you'll run into running smaller tyres would be a faster speedo reading. It says you're going 100km/h, but really it's 95km/h for example.

Edit: Didn't see the above post. I think it's 225mm wide standard with a larger profile.

Thanks Adam and Trust33. They come off an 8" R32 GTR rims and the 205s are too narrow for this rim. I've seen 6.5" GTST rims that were fitted with 225/60, and the tyres looked oversized to me. If GTST rims are 6.5" I reckon 205s are OK, but not sure about the profile.

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
