Darren-B Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Hi all, Should be getting some Nismo`s next week, without tyres. Just wondering if anyone can confirm the tyre sizes for me, I know there 35 profiles and 19" but not 100% on widths. Also Im torn with what tyres to buy, I found Falken 452s were great with the RAYs but offer no curb protection whatsoever Any recommendations? Quote
S1 HNK Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 275 35 rear 245 35 front I have eagle f1's and they are brilliant but heard good reports about falkens too. Quote
Darren-B Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 Great, I can get some prices now, Have you any curb protection? the falkens look like there strectched and dont over hang the rims. Quote
Digsy Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Great, I can get some prices now, Have you any curb protection? the falkens look like there strectched and dont over hang the rims. Those sizes shouldn't be stretched on a 8.5/9.5 combo and weren't even on my 9/10 rims. Are you sure you haven't been looking at a 9.5/10.5 combo? Quote
roast350z Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 New wheels Darren! good choice with the nismos, look forward to seeing them soon buddy Ive just gone for the falkens on my new wheels i think they offer best value for money Quote
Darren-B Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Just going to pick them up shortly, Just Ordered the Falkens, will post some pics up later. What wheels have you got now Keith? any pics? Quote
Darren-B Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 OOOOHHHHHH NEW WHEELS HAVE TO WAIT 2DAYS FOR TYRES NOW Has anyone used SPACERS with Nismo wheels? Quote
martinmac Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Very nice wheels bud. I have spacers on mine but they are only 18s. Quote
Darren-B Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 I have 20mm spacers with my RAYs, Not sure if they will be too much with the extra depth of the nismo`s. Cant afford to be replacing wings after buying these babys Quote
drewbie Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Spacers definitely not required on 19" Nismos, they're built in. Falkens seem very good value and plenty of owners like them. I wanted the best I could get and have been massively impressed with my Toyo's - they give amazing wet weather grip and check out the tread pattern ! Don't last too long but that's 'cos they're sticky and grip like baby plop to a wool blanket. No kerb protection though and my wife has already added a textured finish to every single rim Quote
clarkie34 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 To solve that problem,dont let the wife near your car. Me and the other half used to share cars and every time she curbed the wheels but would always deny she had.But since having the zed and having got her a car of her own,guess what no damage to my alloys.

I've got her a brand new Mondeo Titanium X as a family car, but I sometimes need it for the space and height ( shoot clays and peasants which are generally located down farm tracks etc ). When I do, she gets mine. Its also had it's front bumper scraped twice. She was so scared she paid well over the odds for a body shop to do it the same day before I saw the damage. Luckily just scratches so far ! Must get a mini meet for local Manchester crowd going soon. Too long until the Wales meet. Quote
martinmac Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Not allowed to shoot the peasants up here. Shame though. Quote
clarkie34 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 They had one at some donught place at trafford park a while back.Dont know if they intend to have it again. Quote
drewbie Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Not allowed to shoot the peasants up here. Shame though. Class system still exists in Cheshire Although if I'm honest the police ask us to not to exceed the gentleman's agreed quota. They breed like rabbits on the local estate anyway so don't think they get missed. Quote
Darren-B Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Ive decided to go with the Falkens this time, I might try the toyos next time, (probably in a couple of months) Drewbie - Can you confirm whether you shoot Pheasants or Peasants? Quote
drewbie Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 definitely peasants, hence class system bit, local estate - ie council ( but also called the same when shooting pheasants) etc etc. bit of a play on words and often too clever for most. I'll get back to my Telegraph crossword now. Quote
Darren-B Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 im going to get drunk, enjoy your x-words Quote
