Ian Member 56 Member For: 20y 9m 16d Gender: Male Location: Mackay Posted 05/04/06 11:30 AM Share Posted 05/04/06 11:30 AM Well, today I got off my rear and decided to spend some well earned.They are GMAX M182's, 19x9.5 with 275/30's on the rear and 19x8.5 and 245/35's on the front. Accolades and applause to Grant at Bob Jane in Osborne Park. gets dumped tomorrow so that's my budget for this month. It was either this or Hiddeous' intercooler. All I need now is big red brakes.

Ian Member 56 Member For: 20y 9m 16d Gender: Male Location: Mackay Posted 05/04/06 12:28 PM Author Share Posted 05/04/06 12:28 PM Don't know yet. Had to feed it a bit after getting them fitted and taking off into oncoming traffic and still got a fair bit of axle hop. Seems to go just as hard but I have been a bit conservative in my driving today. Will have to keep the 17's for drag days and keep the new ones for show I think. Good intentions at the moment anyway.

I believe they are the best tyre you can buy. They used to be great but since the weather has cooled down I'm having trouble with traction. If I drive off from a set of lights normally then put my foot down my car will start laying rubber and won't stop till I back off. I think this is a combination of colder roads and cold tyres. They never used to loose traction when it was warmer.Geea. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24552-new-rubber/#findComment-367684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skylines are a great car, possibly one of the best to come out of Japan. It would be interesting to see what some of the Japanese tuning houses could do with a "T".Geea.
