Oh, there's no doubt the 245's will fit on the 8.0's but you've no doubt read that some have been disappointed with the loss of turn-in feel and a sensation of tyre squirm when pressing hard.

As you know, I've fitted 235's to 8.5's and they fit great.

 

Some of the other guys know a lot more about this than I do.

As I said above, I'm sure all those would fit. However, I reckon Mazda stretched the 225's onto the 8.0 OEM rims for a reason and when I changed rims I was anxious not to lose that sensational feel and balance. So far, I think I've achieved that.

 

Those TSW rims are $560 each, could be a bit pricey when I add freight. Doh.

 

TT, for comparison purposes, the Enkei's I got are $590 each (landed and retail).

Never mind, keep looking and you'll find something to suit you.

Have you softened up 'er indoors yet?

 

JDM imports are selling some nice G grams for $699 each...

 

oh yeah TT.... check out the JDM import "pre-loved" pages....
i will have to look for the link when i get home.. or taka can link it up for you in the meantime

 

Mine is so at home but it is in the nissansilvia.com page.

Do not go there too often. I should be the one that snaps the one perfect fit for me .

Just drive to Syd TT... to see their range in stock - some are very very nice.

 

sharing is caring brother.....

 

Bump!

Hey TT, what's the latest?

 

Not much, heading out to Ozzy Tyres this afternoon, just to see what they've got.

 

Have you received the marital green light yet or are you still just sneaking around and hoping she won't notice the shinier wheels?

 

she hasn't actually said "go ahead, but I think she's given up fighting it. I think I may be able to keep the stockers too.

 

Act now then! Best to strike while she's weak. Sooner or later she'll find another supply of "NO" pills and then you'll have to wear her down again.

Good idea to keep the stockers. Semi-slicks are your next job.

 

K, visited Ozzy Tyres this afternoon and they were alot of help. Got home and had "the talk", and I've been approved!
Full steam ahead now, just have to visit Tempe to decide on a wheel.

 

 

Nobody answered the noobee with almost 4000 posts how to use the search button.

 

I've read this post a couple of times now and I'm still confused. Who or what are you talking about RP?

Ah - IC.

Didn't look THAT far back.

Yes, the new boy gets a bit tiresome sometimes.
