Hmm, forgot about koya... though really the cost difference between koya and the kiwamis isn't much

Yeah new that ain't cheap

But there are some that pop up 2nd hand once in a while

I got my set for $600

Wasteland brahs quick advice

As I dont know much about stretched tyres or stanceworks or hektik mexican poke and strech

Bought some 9.5inch rims with Achilles 235 crappy tyres on them so lots of stretch.

Need to run these temporarily before I can order some proper 265 tyres.

Max psi for the tyre says 50psi.

What psi should I have the tyres at to minimize chances of the rim rolling off the tyre?

As when I went to the servo one tyre was on low psi and the rim actually came off the tyre 1/2 way

I've put in 36 psi for now.

Safe to go fast around corners with streched tyres or not really?

Fkn lol @ 235's on 18's being dangerous...

in 18's ADR's state 245/40 is the minimum legal on a 9.5, so it's only 5mm each side under, however most decent tyre manufacturers will state 235/40/18 as the minimum reccomended for a 9.5. This mean's it has been tested and they are happy to put the company name behind it

I have always run 235/40's on 18 x 9.5 or 235/45 on 17 x 9.5 and have pushed them as far as they will go many many times.

Good to know

But still not a fan of stretch

also splain how the tyre can be off the rim, yet still inflatable at the servo?

1/3 the rim came off.

So we took the rim off, jumped on the tyre to put it back into place the inflated it back up

Because fake rims

I run 235s on 9.5 wheels and I'm still alive

Each to their own

But i'd rather spend the $3k saved on LMGT4's on other bits of the car

And pretty sure I'd get stabbed in my sleep if my wife knew I was planning to spend $3.5k on wheels

still not stretched if it's within the reccomended specs of the tyre...

NT05's for example are RECCOMENDED, by Nitto, to be fitted to a 18" x 9.5" in 235/40/18

let enough air out of a tyre and it will come off the bead no matter what the size

That is interesting

Dat Asian honour revenge

123's have similar performance to the KU36. I'd be running them 36-38PSI hot.

Long term, nothing smaller than 255 should even be considered, on all four corners for the track.

Yoki do a 255 and 265 in R18, Hankook do a 255,265 and 275 in R18. Though the Hankooks are generally a 35 profile and make the tyre a lot taller.

18x10 +25F +35R with a 265 fits on my car no worries. However 18x10 +23F 18x10 +33R and a 285 is on the very edge of tyre destruction.

Grip for grip, the Yoki's are more progressive and grippy during lateral slip (around corners on the power), while the Hankook's are good on initially turn into the corner. Have to see what the 2R compound AD08R are like in comparison. Now for Yoki to stop making tyres for S2000, Evo's and 86's and make some decent sizes, like 285 and 295!!!

Yeah trying to source cheap AD08's or Rs3's at the moment

Waiting for a reply from Taleb tyres and will go from there.

Going for a 265/35 tyre size on a 9.5inch rim

Rs3's from tirerack would be $420 a tire incl shipping and duties.

NT05's would be ~$300 from Taleb Im guessing. So alot cheaper :/ But not as good of a tyre obviously

I was chatting about cheffing today at work and I suddenly remembered a guy i used to work with.

this guy was the ORIGINAL hipster...

had full sleeves on both arms, the glasses, the hair, the fashion... all down pat....

i had forgotten about him until today....

worked with him in 2004!

$420 / tyre!!! No way.

OTR if you want AD08's or RTR if you want RS3. Both are under $400 / tyre.

iirc the AD08 is around $385 and the RS3 around $370.

You should, might, kinda be able to get AD08R's in 265 from OTR as well.

    • Haven’t had the chance to drive it yet with work being a nightmare, will definitely be doing that at some point this week. got these so that grip won’t be an issue at roll racing  
    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
