Aim: To sit perfectly !!

Diameter: 18" <li>Width: 9.0" <li>Bolt Pattern: 5 x 114.3 <li>Offset: +30 <li>Hub bore: 67.1

Thanks in advance

Well 235 is minimum legal width you can run on a 9" rim and 265 is the widest. I dont think it'll sit in the guards. My mate has just bought R34 GTR wheels for his R34 GTT (18X9 +30) and they sit perfectly inline - fronts slightly out. He's running 225s front and 245s rear.

Won't have to roll guards them or anything.

They will fit. Run 235/40R18 all the way around, they are legal for the rim, will look good on the rim and doesn't effect your overall rolling diameter all that much. They are also a reasonably common size and you can pick up some good tread patterns without breaking the budget IMO (Toyo Proxes T1R, Bridgestone RE001 etc.)

you should fit 245/40/18 with that size & offset.

how lowered is your car?

Its on tein coilovers so i can set it to whatever.

But i plan to have it sitting around 1cm under.

Like 1cm of rubber in teh guard if possible.

So perfect/tough kinda look :whistling:

So you think 245/40/18 all round will get this look?

Or will it scrub?

it will fit... go for 235/40/18 all round as its a fair whack cheaper than 245 and the difference in width is absolutely f**k all... you will not notice any extra traction from a 245

I strongly suggest you go 235/40/18 front and 235/35/18 for the rear. I have this on my R33 and I find the tyres just sit slightly out but not outrageously and they look mean in my opinion.

It's all I have right now, sorry. This is with 235/40/18.

i have yokohama s-drives in the same size on the same rim, and they look a fair bit more stretched than this. i know not all '235' tyres are exactly the same width, maybe compare different brands side by side before you buy.

Where/what is the best place to get tyres around sydney arear. Around $200 each tyre.

Thanks

    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!ย  We are a pack of know it alls....ย  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!ย  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree! ย 
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc. ย  It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things. ย  Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing" ย  As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things. ย  It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first. ย  There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. ย  However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long timeย  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
