Thanks n15m0. Looks like it'll be Pirelli PZeros in a 225/40R19 and 245/40R19 combination then.

If you car has traction control, front tyres will need to maintain the same diameter as the rear. Or the T/C may playup :blush:

I'm running 255/40/20 & 295/35/20 which are 712mm & 714mm in dia respectivly.

The tyres you have picked are 663mm & 679mm in dia which maybe enough to freak out the T/C.

I think it will be fine, since the stock V35 coupe 18s run 245/45 and 225/45 from factory and doesn't cause any problems with the TC or VDC.

Also, I am a bit confused by your sig. how did you measure Front Wheel KiloWatts in 2 Rear wheel drive cars?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I had my front and rear wheels off on the weekend and the coupe 18s are the same size front and rear (18x8JJ +30) so I still don't know why they are stamped 'front' and 'rear'. I took some pics if anyone wants to see it.

The only thing I can think is the run a staggered tyre size and it might help prevent a dodgy mechanic getting them mixed up. But you think it would be easier to just check the tyres..

There seems to be some confusion around the stock OEM tyre size for our Coupe.

Can anyone clarify what the OEM tyre specs are for 17"? Currently mine are 235/45R17 all round.

Sonicii - my Coupe OEM 18's are both 8" too. I think the front / rear stamped on them is just so fitters know where to put them. If they can't see the tyre sizes I'm not sure how they'll see the front / rear cast into the rear of the wheel :no:

Marshan - I'm pretty sure the OEM 17's are 225/50 front & 235/50 rear - that's the sizes on the OEM 17" alloys I bought, still with Japanese tyres fitted.

same width all round shouldnt cause a problem at all. if anything, youll get improved response in corners - less understeer

OEM tyre pec should be on the tyre label on your drivers door B pillar just above the latch

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
