Hey guys,

Please, advise if I can use 255/35R18 tyres on 18x10 or 10.5 rims? How should they look on a GTR? A picture of this set-up will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Lou

Just legal on 10in not on 10.5

Yeah 265 will go on a 10.5, even then they look a little "stretched"

255/35 will be quite stretched. Mexican is for GTS-t drivers, not GTR drivers!

If you want to fill the wheel you'll need 285s. I run AD08, 285s - rocking on a 10.5" rim. Looks PHAT.

255 on 10" will be ok

I run 265's. stretched..... :S

Did you need to roll the guards to fit them in? or is it all dandy?

I've only had half of the guard rolled (just the middle section). Didn't need to roll the entire guard to fit.

My car isn't super low however as i need suspension travel given the use it sees

I run a 255/35R18 Toyo Proxes R1R on a 10.5" rim on the back of my Cossie, has decent stretch and that tyre is quite wide for a 255.

Considering the car is a R33 GT-R that runs 245/45R17 originally I'd lean towards a naturally wide 265/35R18 (R1R, AD08 etc.) or a 275/35R18.

hey mate

if you wanna see what 265/35/18 looks on a 18x10 rim on a gtr have a look at my posts of my car when i got the new rota grids on it.

265 look a little stretched, i think for how low the car is i would not go a 285, however i might play around with how it sits!

R31nismoid's R33 Gtr with the 10.5 with the 285s looks pure porn, helps that it has everything, colour, stance, height, wheels. just buy his car lol. (seriously nice car man, loving the wheels!).

265 - little stretched, 285 - purposeful.

Not to mention from behind looks pure fat and wide ass.

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
