Enraged 01-02-2006 11:04 AM

new years eve was good... then i heard yesterday my cousin that lives in the US died :( dunno the whole story yet, something involving a gun though :(

on the supra front, im trading the autometer elec water temp gauge for a dual 60mm pod from tte, so ill probably keep the DC water temp gauge and live unit, and just buy a DC II boost gauge.

NashMan 01-02-2006 11:12 AM

arturiusma7 01-03-2006 05:07 PM

soo im buying some nice 225/50/r16 hankook tires on monday. should be pretty interesting. list is 180 a tire, but since i work for a dealership i get them for 108 a tire.. so ill let u guys know how they work out. i think they are the h405's? somethign along that line.

Enraged 01-03-2006 05:12 PM

stock wheels? or stock width wheels? if so, get 245s if you can. i have hankook ventus k104s 275/40/17 for the rear of my supra, nicely built, dunno how they handle yet though.

arturiusma7 01-03-2006 09:07 PM

i might be able to get 245's.. but i dont like the balloon look.. and would it even really help performance ??

balloon look? pfft....I'll be running 295's back there :p
This is the best pic I've got of what 245's look on back...not a direct shot but it'll give you an idea

NashMan 01-04-2006 01:34 PM

i ran 245 on the back it's ok the biggest i whould ever put on

255 whould amke your speedo off


255 is to big 245 is your choice

i ran 245 for bit then swaped to 225 cause it did nto help tration very much over the 225 plsu it looked better the the 225's

Eh....you sure about that? The width shouldn't make a difference to the speedo...a taller tire/bigger wheel would obviously

islandsupra 01-04-2006 02:29 PM

I think he might mean on a sawblade... I don't think you can put a 255 on a sawblade unless it's at least a 50 series tire. The overall diameter/height would be more than an inch taller than the stock 225/50/16 setup, but that's only about a 5% speedo error.

I'm not sure just how much tire height makes a difference, but I gained like 0.1" in diameter when I put on 225/45/17 over stock and I noticed even that helps me clear some bumps easier than when I had the sawblades on.

There's a pretty cool wheel/tire comparison and calculator website that has gearing and fitment here:

http://gs.tolan-hoechst.com/tirecalc.htm

I think 225s will still be enough for me for some time... i just need some damn spacers for them, or at least for the fronts. oh well, still better than the sawblades!

arturiusma7 01-04-2006 05:16 PM

yea i just meant the balloon look on the stock rims. oh well. its all ordered. going to get mounted up on monday :)

NashMan 01-04-2006 09:06 PM

well see teh wide tire you put on smaller rim cause it to ballon this cause the tire to be even higher


see i have 235 45 up fornt stock fit and 255 40 in the rear witch makes it eh same hight as the front

remmber your tire are gears to the taller they are the faster you go

7 inc has fitment of 225 so adding a 245 withc only really come's in 50 sires cause it gay as 16
now adding 255 50 sire whould be just huge

245 50 sire is liek 1 inc taller 255 will be about 1 3/4 taller

these are rough guess but i bet you they are just about dead on

in the end buy 225 front and if you really want wider tire int eh back go to a 245 max

but if you find a set of 235 50 sire i whould give them a go but that pretty hard fucken size to find

arturiusma7 01-04-2006 09:20 PM

they make 245/45r16's i can buy them if i want... plenty of companies make that size

Paradox 01-05-2006 12:22 AM

245's on sawblades? i'd go 235 max. infact i think im going back down to 225 in the rear just for more stability, traction be damned.

NashMan 01-05-2006 11:02 AM

well it up to you the more they are balooned the the less contack you have on the road in less you air down tire

like i do with my 255 when i am at the track


so it's up top you you know what will happen

Enraged 01-05-2006 01:34 PM

murray, buy 225 drag radials :)
