what size tyres does anyone recomend to use with these rims????

I run 235/40s on my 9Js with very very little stretch so 215/225 40s would probably work on those pretty well? But I know fuck all

@ the hubs

Haha that some amount of torque for a standard turbo


My god shane thats some work you've done, did ya do it all yourself?

As for the wheels, im using 17x9.5's at the mo and for general road use i found
235/40/17's good, or mayb 235/45/17 for more comfort or to fill the arches a bit more.

For drifting mayb a 225/40/17 or 235/40/17, just keep the sidewall low!

Awsome car, thumbs up to ya, cant wait to see it finished!

is a side wall of 45 too high for drifting????

[Jay Rockett]

Yeah, well it wouldnt be too high really but the lower the profile the better the car handles so i'd go for a 40 on a 17inch rim, and in drifting your depending on the tire rotating consantly while sideways so any flex in the tire and it'll feel real unstable! higher the profile, more flex.. basically!
