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.

    • Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
