wheels and rubber

[Johnny]

Hi guys, I'm new to this group, been hanging out in one of the Aussie groups for not being able to find a decent uk source (until now). Sorry if this has been bought up before, but I am running stock wheels (no grip)

Whats everyone else running on, wheel size and tire size please ... I dont know what to get.

Thanks
John

Hi Johnny & Welcome.

Some of the S14 guys are running 18inch rims, KOSEI, BBS etc...

Checkout the reader rides link on the main website www.nissan200sx.co.uk (http://www.nissan200sx.co.uk)

I'm still running the standard 16inch wheels at the moment.

Where have you bought your tuning bits from?

I'm still waiting for my 8x18" OZ Superleggeras with 225/40 Goodyear eagle F1's to arrive (it's only been a couple of months...). At the mo I'm running standard alloys with bald yokos.

Thanx for the URL.

All my bits so far have come from Norris Designs .. stoke of Luck really, used to live with parents in Surrey then I moved up here and turned out to be 10mins drive from ND ... needless to say with a 200sx tuner that close, the temptation to mod the car is way too high to ignore.

Excellent, only 10 mins from ND!

I noticed that you've upped the boost on your S14, what sort of power are you putting out?

Hello Johnny,

I have 18" Imported Jap Wheels with 225/40 Eagle F1's.....loads of grip but gets a bit bumpy with the lowering springs...worthwhile though.

Did ND fit your FMIC?

Hiya, I'm running 8x18 Kosie Snipers with 225/40/18 and 235/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1's. Grippy as fook, but then I have got traction control. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Glad you found the site.

Far too many mods to list here, it takes up far too much space and after being asked very nicely I've decided to shorten the sig (Is that a WOOHOO I hear??)

Do not take offence to anything I say, even though I probably mean it. I am more than slightly mad, so just chill de feck oooot, ok!

TakaKaira (http://www.takakaira.co.jp/rimsandtyres/rimsandtyresindex.html)have a guide to wheel and tyre sizes you can use. 18's can also go on with no problems.

She is an emerald green s14, looks stock apart from the FMIC which ND did fit for me ... and definately worth it .. the boost holds on a lot longer now .. although the stock turbo is so inefficient I must have a new one. and the dual 3 1/2 inch box on the back.

Havent had her dynoed yet but ND reckon with what has been done I should be pushing 280BHP at the flywheel.
