cool...thanks grant.

mate has a set of eurolines ..18*9 and 18*10 ..both with +35 offset...i'll try them for fit this weekend....oh and tyres are 235 at the rear too...really stretchhhhhed

wont fit in the rear it WILL hit the coilover, you need a 25mm spacer to clear them

the front will be kinda sunken

BUT if you put the 10 in the front you would be fine, but it woudl be stupid

Nice, Marc. Must come back to Canberra to have a sticky-beak...

Front 18x9 +30 Rays GT7, Proxe(?) 235x40x18

Rear 18x10 +32 Rays GT7, Maxxis 245x40x18 plus 3mm spacers.

Prior to WA road rego was tyres rear Proxes also, 265x35x18 but self destructed between Brisbane & WA. (bugger)

Ride height ~380mm all round. At this time.

cheers GW :ermm:

I thought the R33/R34/Stagea AWD system was like other AWD's - in the fact that you have to run the same size tyres front and rear?

Is this not the case?

I know you can get away with it for a while, but you'll end up burning out your drivetrain, correct?

Ref wheel diameters/profiles front to rear, I'm sure you are right however my GTIR equiped son tells me that my car is only 4wd when the rears break away & to date I have not achieved this. Too busy messing around with it plus tyres cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$. The 35's came with it of the boat so could well have been half shagged before it got into my hands. By the time I got it to WA they was chewed out on the inside edge. I will not be fitting that profile in the future unless it is all four.

Cheers GW :wub:

how much lower are you than stock?

nevermind.

i guess i really DID have that much camber lol

looks good man!

I would say about stock height. Any lower & it slurps up beer cans off the road.

Cheers GW :wub:

i pulled it becuase i hate 4wd

its still pulled now.....

im not in snow or slick surfaces, so i dont need 4wd.... its overrated around my area...plus i like drifting and big smokey burnouts

Why did you get a Stagea again?

i've had a galant vr4 engine with a gsr 4wd gearbox fit in a lancer before which in fwd mode.....mechanics had to weld something in the tranny to stop the rear from spinning....did you have to do the same when going rwd?

in answer of nz_26t question on whats the bigest rims you can fit under a serries one stag (i answed it here as i belive we should keep this thread alive.) my friend has a serries one 96 model and has just recently fitted 20x7's not shure on the rest as i don't speak to him much any more.

don't happen to have any pix do you of the 20's on?

any problems putting them on with guard clearance & so forth?

sorry fuzzy as i said don't talk to him much and haven;t seen him in a while. all i do know is he got his serries one stock, fitted exsahust and got it lowred by reseting the factory springs only resulted in 30mm drop. wacked on 17's then upgraded to 20's after ruining a 17. no gaurd removal just bolted them on no spaces and i think it looks f#@ked the rims sit to far in and it looks like a monster truck it's that high off the ground. as i said though there only 7" wide if you are going to get some get them through a reputible dealer and get the write off set. lower it as far as possible then even get a body kit so it looks low and suits the rims

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
