What Tyres?

The tyre is Bridgestone Potenza.

Does anyone have any long term experience with these?

Standard issue from Nissan for most of their vehicles in their range. Generally, pretty average performance but still better than the shitty Kumho KU31 tyres my compliance workshop recommended. I'm definitely going either Michelin Pilot Sport or Pirelli P-Zero for the next set. I doubt I'll be able to find the right size for the front so I'll stick to the all 245 set up I have now.

I think 245 all around is good really...Well then again I'm not a fan of running a staggard setup...Compliance put on Dunlop Sports Maxx for me...Am quite surprised how good they are..I expected them to be shit...Done 37,000 kms now and they can probably go another 10k? My tyres normally run out way before this haha. Next set would probably be Yoko Advan Sport, P-Zero or Nitto...

I've never heard of Nitto.

But was wondering how wide can I go with 17's before I'd have to change to 18's?

Has anyone had problems (tyre scuffing side wheel guards) when running 18's on Track Days???

Because when I changed 17's to 18's on my HSV Clubsport-VR, they scuffed my guards?

Had to bend out the guards to stop it, lol...

Also would anyone know these details below;

17" Rim Width? ie. 8"

PCD/Fitment Pattern? 5 x 120

Offset? ie. +42

Many thanks for the help guys...

Don't know why I could re-edit my post???

But of course it's a 350GT (Does no one read the profile stats on the left of the user? Lol)

When using the app it doesnt show your info. So maybe keep that in mind.

Also what wheels are you talking about? Good god man. Put some effort into it.

Like leroy said. We aren't psychic

Why would you want wide 17's on a V35 Sedan?

I would be looking for 8.5" or 8.75" x 18" wheels - good value and affordable + look good... I don't think you'll encounter any guard rubbing issues with these.

PS: For tires, if you're looking for bang for buck (affordable) I'd look at Achilles ATR Sport / Sport 2

it isn't about rim diameter.. you could easily enough go with a wider 17in rim to fit wider 17in tyres if you really needed to, there is no 'requirement' to change to an 18in rim.

I'm not sure what width you could go up to on a V35 before you rub on the guard.. it would also depend on rim offset, you would need to select an offset so you don't rub the guards or the suspension.

What I meant was... 17's are small on a V35 sedan!

[PaulReeves.com - GPOWER.TV]

Hadouken..I was referring to the specs of the above rims, if they would fit my PV35 Sedan or not...

But I done a Google search just now & found an excellent web site (www.Wheel-Size.com/)

http://www.wheel-size.com/size/nissan/skyline/2006/#trim-pv35-jdm

It shows year by year & model info what can fit....

Bolt Pattern on all V35's is 114.3mm!

Tyres for Nissan Skyline 2006;

Diameters: 16'' - 19''

Width (mm): 205 - 235

Tyre aspect ratio (%): 40 - 65

Smallest tyre size: 205/65 R16

Largest tyre size: 225/40 R19

Rims for Nissan Skyline 2006;

Bolt pattern 5x114.3

Diameter: 16'' - 19'';

Width (inches): 6.5 - 8;

Offset (mm): 30 - 45.

Does anyone run 19's on their PV35???

Comments please???

Or shall I stick to 18's for the track?

If so, what width of the rim & offset shall I get not to touch the guards or shall I ask Taleb Tyres @ Tempe regarding this query???

Ta.

Those figures are wrong. you can certainly go with a wider tyre than that. I have 245 tyres all round on my sedan, and that is with Coupe 18s. which have a lower offset than the normal sedan rims.. I expect you could go at least a few steps wider if you have a rim with a higher offset than +30.

245s on 18x8 +30 rims come very very close to the guards on the sedan!

You can also go with a larger rim than 19in, if you select the correct tyre. personally I wouldn't due to how much road imperfections will be transmitted through to the body of the car.. but that is up to the individual.

You also CANNOT use 16in rims on a series 2 or series 3 V35. these series have larger standard brake rotors and nothing below a 17in rim will fit over the front calipers.

(1) So how does the offset work?

The more lower the number the better to clear the guards? Or is higher the number of offset the better?

(2) Can I run wider rear than fronts like the GT-R does then?

[Leroy Peterson]

Just google it FFS. This isnt a childrens learning centre.

(You can run staggered wheel sizes if you want. But knowing your understanding of wheels it will probably end badly. Do some research, see what other people are running)

plenty of good explainations of offset on google, with pictures which will make it easy to understand. lower number means wheel will be closer to the guard.

Factory coupe tyre sizes with 18s run 245 rears and 225 fronts, 350z does something similar. my sedan came with coupe 18s with this setup.. I changed to 245 all round so i can rotate tyres. It also gives me just a little more clearance at the front with 350z springs.

[mycarhasposessedme]

Dont listen to these Guys, just get really, really, Fat tyres, Fat tyres are fully sick.

And sick wheels, chrome looks really, really good,

Dont worry about that offset stuff, you can fix it with a block of wood.

Practical and affordable. I like.

I have Pilot sport 3s on my 17's and they are awesome!

I have 245/35/19s at the mo. KU39's Kumho Le Sport...

Agreed

[PaulReeves.com - GPOWER.TV]

Do your 245/35/19s rub at guards 'INSANITI'?

Would I be able to run 19's at the rear & 18's at the front then?

Whatever this setup would be called?

Or should I stick with 18's all-round if I want to run Pirelli P Zero Semi-Slicks?
