On a r32 gtr do u have to have the same size tyre profile all round or can it b different? Because i have 255/35r18 on the front and i just put 245/45r18 on the rear is that ok or dose it have to b the same all round? If not can i just leave it in rear wheel drive?

I think it is more so the middle numbers...

The Aspect Ratio or also know as the Tyre Sidewall Size.

So your Aspect Ratios are out as the fronts are 55 and the rears are 45...

GTR's should run the same all round.

Since it's not out by much, you should be ok...

You have wider tyres on the front than on the rear. Which bozo came up with that idea? Asking for trouble, I feel.

The aspect ratios are 35 front, 45 rear. The problem you are likely to have is with ATTESSA (4WD), not with HICAS (4WS). The width / aspect will be ok as far as ATTESSA is concerned, but really....

Some people don't deserve to own a good car.

I ended up having 245/40/17 on the front and 245/45/17 on the rear at one stage(had to replace rear tyres due to punture).

Every bump I hit caused the front tyres to get drive. Now my ATTESSA needs a good bleed (have same size all round, works fine when it doesn't crap out).

Run the same size tyres all round. You will risk wearing the ATTESSA out. Note since your rear tyres will be spinning quicker than the front, I'm guessing the car will be sending torque to the front wheels a lot more than what I experienced.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
