Might be stating the obvious (to some) but something I didn't realise until I started trying to pick tyres for aftermarket wheels is that the profile figure - e.g. 40 - is 40% of the width.
So for a 255/40/17 tyre - diameter is 255mm, profile / side wall is 102mm (40% of 255), and radius is 17inches.
Learning this made it all make a lot more sense to me. I also have this graphic to refer to. Can't recall where I found it but it's now saved on my desktop!
I also wanted a chunky looking tyre with a solid side wall and after going 245(F) / 265 (R) , have since switched back to 235(F) / 255 (R) as I found the handling was noticeable more boggy and I use the car for fast road and track use. For ref, these tyres are on 18" BBS LMs.

I have found an Australian Company who can do a right hand drive pair of headers for the N/A Z32
It appears that only N/A's were sold in Australia. Any TT's are inport only.
So it is a good source for performance parts for the N/A's
The headers come in coated or uncoated, the costs are...
£480 coated and £450 uncoated this includes P&P
For a group buy we need to get 5 or more orders, this would reduce the cost by almost £50 each.
Dont know yet what the duty would be...
Any one interested?
