and just for good measure, a mates 235/40R18's on 18x10's

[works 510]

hahah dennis you are just too old and un-fashionable... maybe not hip enough?

I admit stretch is a big wank, dish is too! but i like it.

I needed 195/45/15's to fit 8 and 8.5's under 1600 gaurds.

Cheers,

Waz.

now thats tuff

Well for those that want to listen ................ both, or all 3 cars shown for that matter, I haven't said they DON'T FIT, I said .............

"And might look better if the tires actually fitted the rims?????????"

The legal issues with tires is simply this.

To all those that choose to have them set up this way.

IF your involved in a FATAL accident and your tire fitment is not 100% legal and as per the ADR rules of the car .................. YOUR GOING TO GAOL! or at the very least, your going to be prosecuted for causing the accident.

Think about that! Ponder your life after you have hit a pedestrian or another car and caused the loss of a life, because I can tell you first hand what it's like to hit and kill a pedestrian and with today's legal fees, I can tell you you will need many tens of thousands of dollars to defend yourself.

The police confiscated my car and had it for over a week trying to find something, ANYTHING that was not stock standard that they could use against me in court and the best they could do was quote braking efficiency %'s and that I had wide wheels.

All my cars will be as the tire fitment is designed.

Mitchy,

Why didn't you consider 235/40 instead of 45 profile?

The 40 profile would have sat better on your 9 inch rims and also been a lot closer to the preferred dynamic radius and been another 13mm lower which may have cured the rubbing on the guard issue.

Have a nice day!

I agree with Dennis. while the first poster's tyres don't look too bad IMHO (and if they're listed as suitable for a 9" rim, then there's legally nothing wrong with them) anything more is just plain dumb and illegal. Of course for optimum performance, 235 on a 9" rim wouldn't be ideal - better to stick to a 8" rim. But then again, I get the feeling the car wasn't built for ultimate track performance.

Now, as for fitting 215 tyres on a 9" rim - well that's just a plain wank, nothing less. Just because a bunch of idiots in Japan do it does not make it cool. The concept of severely restricting a car's performance potential just to look "tuff" is akin to removing springs and riding on bump stops, or big bodykits that do nothing more than add weight. Sorry - it's pure rice.

If you accept it for what it is, then that's fine. If you sit theere and try convince others (and yourself) that "they fit with absolutely no problems whatsoever", then you need your head read.

You are so lucky your thousands of km away.

We are pretty laid back here, but f**k this thread has stirred up a shitstorm

I think we all have to agree that car modification is in our own tastes and personal likes, and if some of us prefer safety to good looks then so be it, If some know that safety is more important, it only shows who has either more life experience or just a few more brain cells than the average p plater...

[mitchy_]

i don't see why it has started a shit fight.

235/45R17 is 100% legal on a 17x9" rim, and its physically the widest tyre i can fit before i encounter rubbing on already rolled guards.

Like those wheels

Are they Superlites?

What offset are they

What offset are they

17x9.5 -19 i can gather from his post...

mine are 17x9 +15, and his seem to sit about 40mm further out like the negative offset would suggest.

[Factory 5]

if they are legal, then there must be some sort of ADR testing done etc to prove if they are safe or not

If they are, then great! Make sure you print off the ADR page with that stated andd keep in your glovebox for the day you might get pulled over

I think i will spectate now, you can request admin to clean this thread up too...

[mitchy_]

the manufacturer of the tyre states a 235/45R17 can be fitted on a minimum rim width of 7.5" and maximum of 9"

[ydr030]

im curious how much boost wwas the kkr 480 pumping to get 300+ at wheels, hefty number

[red_screamer]

all i can say is good on you mitchy for doing it how you like it your 31 looks tuff as nails hows the traction with the 235s?

about 17psi, to be honest i think that figure is a bit 'high', but when i get it retuned its going for 20 pound

all i can say is good on you mitchy for doing it how you like it your 31 looks tuff as nails hows the traction with the 235s?

cheers.

just depends how you use the throttle, they are perfect for normal driving, but give it a chance and it will paint lines in the first 3 gears.

sweeet...

[BensDR30]

All the tyre/wheel issues aside - it looks to be a pretty neat package, but I have to ask in regard to the first dyno graph, what's with the AFR's?

It dips well into the 10's for a while there. To me that seems to be dumping fuel in for intercooling effect (preventing the pistons from getting 'religious'), where less timing (or preferably less boost) would be better for everything involved (including power & torque).

Can you provide any more info on that run, or is that tune now history with something 'happier' taking it's place?
