kazama76 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hey guys. I've got a Jspec NA, are my tyre size's of 275 (rear) and 235 (front) ample? i know you prob going to say "well depends on my drive style", but i dont want to have a smashed up soop because my tyre size wasn't ample.

Nic Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Stock Tyres Sizes Front 16/50/225 Rear 16/50/245 Front 17/45/235 Rear 17/40/255 What size wheels do you have fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 What size wheels are they fitted to ? are they nankang shoo shangs or a decent make and are they at the correct pressure's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I would say they are over sized for the power due to increased rolling resistance. Dry grip should be fine but be very careful in the wet. You would have a job to push the N/A to out perform stock size tires of a good make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazama76 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) No they're not standard wheels, they're 18" volk alloys (challenge Fzero) with Kumho tyres. stock jspec brakes and suspension. wheels are getting ready for refurb and paint. just wondered whether to change the rubber while it was off. plenty of tread. but tread no good without quality or size.

kazama76 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Is it even possible to lose the backend of a NA lmao i just found a table with wheel sizes and recommended tyre size to fit although the front dont look stretched, it reckons for a 10" wheel, 255 is min req guess ill change the front. rears are 11" min req 275. so im ok with that (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Your front tyres are too narrow and should be a minimum 255 to a max of 285 The rears should be minimum 275 to max 305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 front are 10" and rears 11" Are you sure these sizes are correct? I ask because I *think* the maximum width the Volk Racing F-Zero wheels was 18x10. Also on the pic you posted it doesn't look like a 10" wheel and 235 tyre.
