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 was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
