Just double check that the rolling diameter of the tyres are the same front and rear. Sometimes different width tyres run slightly different heights, which can cause dramas with the attesa, according to a few on here.

But going by how the rear tyres is stretched on there id say they are the same width TYRE front and rear, even though different rim widths...?

Looks good tho! But yes lower the car!

yeah its the dayz kit. i pm'd sk about some suspension but havent heard back yet. i have a RWD so i havent got an attessa system to worry about but yes the tyre widths are the same front and back

i reckon a gtr bake upgrade might be on the cards to fill the rims up a bit also and to stop terrible braking perfomance of my car. went on a bit of hills drive last night with a loaded car (5 people) but with the stocky wheels and wasnt terribly impressed. i definatly wasnt being given any ammount of reasurence from the suspension or the brakes. im a bit of a pussy driver now after my accident and any hint of body roll freakes me out.

wats the offset for fronts and rears?

im getting an 18sx9 for the front and x10 fortherears. Front offset is +25 and rears +40

I think you are going to have rear inside clearance issues with an offset that high.

My 18x20 rears have about a finger of clearance (13-17mm). I don't know if an extra 20mm on the inside will fit. You definately wont be able to run square rubber (where the tyre sticks out more than the wheel)

spacers as a last resort 10mm should do it. Then i will look VERY Ricey!! :D

Hrm so its okay to run staggered widths front and back as long as rolling diameter is kept the same?

I've been looking for a set of equal width 18" rims for ages on various car forums and its so bloody rare to see any.

What size rims and tyres (inc offset) are you guys running? I need a rough idea on what will look decent.

where in victoria can you go 140km/h+ ?

140km/h is not rarely seen. Yeah.. racetracks.

dmonic1 what offset are those rims?

I am currently looking at a set of 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 +35 offset, just wondering if they would fit without having to lip/roll the guards.

At your sizes and offsets, comparing to my rims (which are slightly weaker than Yoko) you are going to have 28mm less inner and 40mm more outer clearance on the front and 9mm less inner and 21mm more outer clearance. Stagea's have MASSIVE front guards man, you really need lower offsets on the fronts than the rears. Be careful of hitting the shock too (the curse of high offset wheels)

You can compare to other sizes using this calculator. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I havn't touched my front guards and my rears would be alright slightly higher, at this height they need a lip only (bend the inside lip up, not pump/roll/flare the guard)

Yokotas old car (18x9 -5 w/ 235/40 fronts, 18x10 +20 w/ 235/40 rears)

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
