No 245 is already stretched on a 9.5" wide wheel.

How low is your car? Do you have rolled guards?

Did you get a wheel alignment done? Do you have adjustable castor and upper arms?

When I fitted 265 on my BNR34 wheels, the front right would scrape under load. I wound some neg camber and castor to stop it scrapping then took it down to an alignment place to get the numbers right. Thanks to a couple of popular tyre shops that have regular specials, my alignment was all over the place, so my fiddling actually improved the alignment.

okay awesome... man honestly thats what i always thought but someone that was running 10.5 all round with a 255 said my 9.5 on a 17inch wheel with 265 will be like a baloon... f**k what he says man the picture u posted is perfect and exactly what i want.

thanks for the help

You do realise that fitting has stupid amounts of neg camber on the rear to make it fit, dont you?

I think you must be spot on! My car isn't that low, especially on that corner, I need to adjust the other 3 corners slightly higher to be in line with it, I only have castor rods, I haven't had an alignment yet, it only just clips the edge of the side skirts front connection point in the wheel well

I am running CE28's 18x9.5 +15 with 265's all round.

Heaps of room! I could drive a truck through that guard gap.

I think a +12 would be better or a 18x10.5

Hi, are you fenders rolled for your 18x9.5+15????? With 265s

I bought a set of 18x9.5+12s with 265s

cause seller said they were +22s and I did not check them first   Yep im a dumb butt

So just wondering if they will fit do not want to roll fenders

no need to roll guards, depending on height, get some adj. camber arms if required

    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
