NISSAN GTR R35 tyre problem :'(

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

Yours are the erected version... He's d flaccid version

This thread is really abuzz now Sean, and I, like the majority of forummers here are rather dumbfounded by your intention to downsize your wheels and brakes after reading your initial post and stating that "...a lot of research, now i know the power and history of the GTR" If you have researched enough you will find that NOBODY has downsized regardless of the make other than for circuit/motorsports purpose. Don't hold your breath trying to find a 285/85 R16 tyre with wheels to go with it...

Be it a Nissan OR Lambo, you will find that owners DO NOT downsize and replace smaller brake system in return of achieving cheaper maintenance. It just simply goes beyond our comprehension that the thought even crossed your mind and I am certain your brother will disown you if he found out. This brings about some discrepancy to your story told where you claim that you bought it from your brother that has migrated, but in your 2nd post you said that you are going to take care of it on his behalf???

But if your plight is sincere, then my advice to you is "if you have to ask the price, then most likely you can't afford it"

Last but not least, this is a Nissan forum whether you like it or not... so don't knock the brand and the enthusiastic owners that reside in this virtual community.

i guess we like to listen and answer to crap. GTR owner: If you can afford a gtr stick to the 20's or take vspec's offer on used tires. Don't come out guns blazing most of us are tired of thread crapping. You can be a genuine GTR owner and if you're seriously thinking of down sizing then just do it ppl like ATS will be glad to help

Dude regarding the valet parking , it matter of convenience rather then showing off. Grow up and be thankful of what you have

GTR eats Prancing horse,Raging bull for breakfast,lunch and dinner. Anytime!

Make sure if you got the car, give us a review.

Hks 800, must be damn nice.

Condemn it will be a waste for the car lover like most of member in this forum...

fastest growing number of posting in ZtoH today.....downsizing rims....then became hot topic of the day.

Gtrmaniac - i got a suggestion - nothing to go against u...just suggest...

bring yr car to a tire shop and get them to bring out all the rims that have suitable offset and could fit into yr GTR and then u choose from there. REMEMBER to snap picture by picture the whole progress and post it here for sharing...i am sure everyone here are interested to know what GTR would look like with smaller rims and smaller tires because from what i know, GTR owner are not ordinary people who cares about their cost of tires, cost of insurance, cost of road tax (i am surprise u didnt ask how to minimize road tax - maybe changing to rb26dett into the GTR or so cost road tax cost a bomb too annually)...which is why ppl are doubtful bout it...

since ppl are asking - why not you follow suit public request....share with us, cos here are open forum, we share our passion in cars...so i don wanna write much....awaiting your interesting rim downgrading process sharing....happy sharing.....

After looking at gtrmaniac's response, I know what is wrong.

The problem isn't the tyres. The problem is in between
THIS

AND THIS

Once you get rid of the problem in between the items above, trust me your GTR will be absolutely dandy and smelling like candy.

 

[pwhyze]

How about between this

and this
