as the title says, i changed from 17x7.5 all round to 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 rear

no scrubbing which is good but car is like a 4wd now lol, just gotta lower it 1 inch but what ive noticed is that it follows grooves in the road now, why is that??

is it just how it is, or i have some worn bushes which are made more noticeable with the bigger wheels

what he said plus the lower profile tyres are generally of a more square shouldered design so they bounce off the edges of the ruts left by traffic and wander back in to the trough. You will get used to it.

further to what they've already said, changing rim width and offset also changes your scrub radius, which has an effect on straight line stabilty. you may notice that tramlining effect gets worse under hard braking.

yeah. the scrub radious of the front end is all out of wack. get used to it or get wheels with the corect offset.

or you might just need a wheel alignment. low profile tyres show up dodgy alignments very hard.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
