Mr mav Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Got my gtr wheels back at last! Still having a nightmare selecting the correct tires, narrowed it down to 255 on the front and 285 at the rear but I'm still unclear as what profile to go for?? 30 or 35?? My Z is lowered 30mm aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I ran a stretched 35 for quite a while; the sidewalls must have been closer to a 30 or less? Ditched it for a well fitting 35 tyre (wider) and the ride was so much smoother. Consequently I wouldn't run anything with a sidewall shallower than a 35. Another thing to consider is that the lower profile will bring your rim much closer to the road surface and those dreaded potholes. Your new refurbed wheels could take a bashing!!

GMballistic Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Very nice Mr mav. What tyre size front & rear did you end up going for in the end then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mav Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks for the comments Went for 255.35.20 on the front and 285.35.20 at the rear, should have really got a set of 275 as it's rubbing ever so slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seasider Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Speaking from recent experience of messing about with wheel/tyre sizes - isn't this set up going to cause havoc with the car's electronics? TC/ABS? Also, I'd change the rubbing tyres sooner rather than later - if they are relatively new, you will recover most of the cost on ebay.

Mr mav Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 they look can you get the rear arches rolled ? It's looking more likely that the arches will need a slight roll in the next couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
