265/35 is fine on a 10". The amount of stretch look will depend on the tyre.

E.g. my 18x10 came with Potenza TS-02, they look pretty stretched. I put Azenis FK452 on two of them and they have a little bit of stretch. Same size tyres 265/35/18.

The 595 RSR for the price cannot be beaten, they perform just as well as the likes of the Toyo R888 and they sit at almost $500 each. Don't be cheap and put decent rubber on the car. 100% worth it. Tyres are the second most important part of the car.

I was thinking achilles atr sport cause there cheap. I currently have federal 595s but they are going for nearly 300 each not worth it.

You're definitely getting ripped for those Federals. You can get KU31 for less than $200 each in 265/35/18. I got Falken FK452 for $180 each :P (check tempe tyres from time to time, cheap cheap. Contact Bob Jane for Dunlop Sport Maxx).

thats barely any stretch at all. ive got 245/35s on my 10s and thats still not that much stretch

Stance crowd?

The Bridgestones on my car at the moment:

I would not put anything less than 265 on a 10".

Just go by what the tyre manufacture recommends, I still don't understand the logic behind people stretching tyres, if you can't fit the rim under the guard buy wheels that fit, don't stretch tyres.

Not having a go at the OP btw, obviously a 10 will fit on a GTR but just so sick of seeing all this stretched tyre crap.

Both tyre sizes are listed as fitting a 10 for the rsr, so either is fine.

I don't have pictures of the Falkens, but they have broader shoulders compared to the Bridgestone and hence look a lot less stretched (no rim protector lip). Try ringing your local Bob Jane and ask for best price for Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. My local said Bob Jane has a deal with Dunlop to get cheap tyres. If not, look at shipping in from tempe/st george/ozzy or similar.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.

      I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
