How would these fit?

Would modifications be needed?

What tires would be recommended as well?

Aim: To sit perfectly !!

Size:

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

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • 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?
