lol. Had 235s on my stockie 33GTR wheels (9"). Minimal stretch, if any.

There will be a bit of stretch for that size for sure but I suppose joey's argument for running 235 is to be more practical/cost saving as its down to the dollars from what he's suggesting.

Personally I'm not a big fan of stretched tyres but I know of people who loves the look of them (particularly people who loves dishes).

Never seen 235s on 9s but the 285s I have on my 9.5s fits perfectly with no stretching at all. However, I have another friend with 265s on 10s and they look a bit stretched. I was told 265s would be the perfect size for 9s though.

you're running 285s! jesus brandon, im impressed :)

for 9" i go 215 :D

i run 235's to fit under the guards... the $$$ is a bonus tho... its just that the price difference between a 235 and a 245 is less than the performance difference

Yea. Thats a good enough reason I suppose. If you can justify it and dont mind the look + its legal, I dont see why you shouldnt do it.

I thought you knew? They came with the rims I bought which was a bargain imo.

i do like the look and 245's on a 9.5" is the minimum legal size :)

the 235's are technically illegal, but still within manufactures specs for some tyres

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
