Finding Harder To Get Tyres In Small Size...for Gfs Charade!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, just need a little help.

I bought my gf some pretty nice looking rims for her 1989 charade ( I'm going to pimp it up for her 21st present )

I got some Gmax wheels in 16 inch which look awsum on the car. unfortunately they need new tyres and the seller didn't know where he got them.

they currently have 205/45/16s on them, but they are a much bigger rolling diameter then her current wheels which will chuck her speedo way out, also, I want some slightly skinner tyres, ie . 205/40/16 because they are rubbing at the back.

The car will need the back guards rolled and new suspension, I just need to find some tyres.

Bob jane are not that helpful and she doesn't need performance, just some cheap rubber to get her around! Please tell me some good places, or if you have these sorts of tyres!

Thanks,

Adam :)

Yokohama make a 215/40x16 in the S.drive model. This is a performance tyre, though. They don't seem to make a similar size in the economy model tyres.

Anyway, have a chat to Andrew at Traction Tyres in Rowville (www.tractiontyres.com.au).

thanks for some of the help guys, but unfortunetly, the tyre can't be any bigger then what it already is... 205/45/16... I was hoping for a thinner tyre.. ie... 205 or 195 /40/16

Jezza I await your call. mine is 0419 110 110 btw :D

Thanks,

Adam

    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 馃槩
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
