Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Rapid p609 235-45-18 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 8,100 miles March 5, 2026
Have a pair for the rears on my Skyline R33 weekend car. Installed in Nov 2022 and noticed this month (March 2026) that it has gone down almost to wear bar. A lot of spirited driving in this car, across all seasons down under (spring, summer, autumn, winter). No issue in wet except for one time along tram line. handles great in dry and normal wet condition. Other than that, for the price, I'd say a good pair if you don't mind the wear rate.
When I say wear rate, I meant it wears really fast considering total kms raked on this pair is only 13000 km (or 8000 miles).
I have used different brands on this vehicle before and easily this brand/model has the fastest wear of them all for the mileage covered.

Federal 595RSR 255-40-17- Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 3,000 miles February 11, 2015
good tire gives you confidence to push harder, not so good if weather is cold, some times cracking appears across the tread but it does not affect performance.

Avon ZZ3 265-35-18- Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 6,000 miles June 19, 2012
Bit of an unknown quantity when originally fitted but on second set now. Great in the dry, loads of feel, surpisingly good in the wet, no nasty moments, lasted about 10K miles driving mainly to work and back.

On a weekend car, the tires lasted me approx 4.5 years so no complaints, one puncture in all that time.
