Struggling to get tyres to fit my 12j Meisters - Help! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

L16JAY · 02-25-2016, 04:19 AM

Hey guys, I've been trying to get my 265/35/18 Eagle F1's to fit my 12j Meisters but and having no luck. We've tried two bead cheaters, bags, everything and still no luck. Could anyone advise me on their experience with the Meister and tyres? I got a 225/40 over my 10j fronts no hassle....

What's the temp there?

Maximum · 02-25-2016, 05:31 AM

maybe try fitting the proper size tire?

make sure you air blast it with the bead seated on the back side of the rim... air blast w a cheetah the thin clearanced area between the front side outer lip and the tire NOT the open area on the back side.

If the tires are run flats change to a more flexible tire.

get a different tire that stretches better, i have 265 feddy on my 11.5 meister and its barely stretched.

I'm running a 265 but had a 255/40 on the rear 11.5s... get a flexible tire and watch it go

Get federal or Nankang. Those have soft sidewalls.
