Un-stretch those tires(you're going to need more contact anyways) and replace those headlights and then you're

Already on it! Lol was either going to go with 245s or 255 up front and 275 in the rear. Headlights need work I agree

Id like to run those sizes , only concern I have is without the stretch, the wheels poke a tad bit so if I run flush tires to rims, it'll poke and I want 0 camber, I was going to go with re11s or r888s.
255/35 18 front
285/30 18 rear
Any suggestions ?

cosmis xt006 18x9.5 +10 front 18x11 +8 rear

Isn't stock spec like 1.2 degree of camber? or something

Lifessimple

iTrader: (1)

I'll have too check once I put it back on the alignment rack. most likely going with 245/40 and 275/35s

jhc

IIRC rear camber is -2.0
Congratz!

awesome! thank you.

MicVelo

Stock rear camber-OE spec is Min -2.1degs Max -1.1degs

On tires.... No no no no, don't do it.

Compare:

225 45% 18 25.97 Stock Reference Size
245 45% 18 26.68 Stock Reference Size

You mention:
255 35% 18 25.03 -0.94"
285 30% 18 24.73 -1.95"

As deadeye mentioned, proper sizing on 18s...
255 40% 18 26.03
275 40% 18 26.66 OR 285/40-18 26.98" (with 11" width, go with 285)

Yes, with those offsets, 95% probability you're going to NEED a rear roll to fit any of these sizes.

so 255/40R18 front, 285/40R18 rear? I use to have 285/35R18 nitto 555s in back and it looked too meaty for my liking, maybe it was the brand of tire that made it look meaty?

edit: decided to go with 245/40R18 (25.7) vs 25.97 and 275/40R18 (26.7) vs 26.68 will that be ok?

very nice! Some nice stuff on the car/engine.

What are your goals for your retune?

Lifessimple

iTrader: (1)

thanks man! Honestly id be content with 500whp, even though I know the motor can handle more, I would be happy if I got to the 500s. Not really sure how far I can get with gtr injectors ..

iTrader: (13)

welcome by the way

I was gonna say your injectors and fuel pump are holding you back (thats the good news and the bad news) spend $500-$600 on some 1000cc injectors and $100 on a 320lph pump and you'll hit 500hp.

What are you tuning with?

Lifessimple

iTrader: (1)

thanks for the welcome lol I'm using uprev, what power do you think I can get with the set up I have?

iTrader: (13)

^I did 455hp / 420tq back in the day supercharged using a 255lph and 600cc injectors...I think the OEM GTR injectors are like 525cc?

If I was a gamble'n man (which I am) my guess would be 440hp / 460tq ... Your injectors will limit your hp outup and your added displacement will bump-up your torque...

🤔 okay cool I'll find out next week I guess, they're using a dyno dynamics which I heard reads even lower than a mustang dyno.

I'm late to the party, but welcome to the forum! That's decent power for lower boost, it must be a blast to drive
