as long as you maintain the same diameter / height front to back you will be ok. ie. the combined height of wheel + tyre needs to be the SAME (or within about 2%) front to back, otherwise VDC will kick in (thinks you are wheel spinning). So yes in theory you can run a different diameter wheel, as long as the tyre size/profile compensates to make the front and back wheel+tyre the same approx height. Hope ths makes sense.

You might want to think about the tyre pressure monitor thing too.

how about the offset, how much different in offset can the R35 run?

A few of us have run some pretty odd offsets, the computers don't really care. Obviously there are other issues which affect every car.

yeh no issues here running larger and wider sizes, in fact the car feels even more planted and comfortable on the road

though i played it safe, and went same size increase all around - so that's 1" wider and 1" taller than stock

i put new oem sensors in my new wheels and the dealer cant get them to pair up. Last resort will be either to buy them from an Aussie dealer and cross my fingers they work, or pull apart my stock wheels and take the sensors out of those - a job for when i cbf, atm im just ignoring the light on the dash

so as long as the diameter the same the offset really doesn't make any issue with the GTR ATTESA system?

Would previous model (R34) be affected if the offset different? I hardly seen the old model running on different offset (maybe I am blind lol)

Correct r35 doesn't care about offsets, some of us have run some pretty stupid offsets, mainly due to limited wheel choice. Equal diameter front vs rear is important however. Must be within 2% or thereabouts. My experience is that anything less than 640mm height has issues too.

Sorry I have NFI about the r34 system.

R34 AWD system doesn't care about offset either but like all GTRs they need as much front grip as possible. more front track gives you some more grip so most run same offset front and rear. there is no point having your wheels stick further out in the rear just cause it looks cool. all it does is make the car handle poorly.

Problem being thanks to the hella flush fitment/stretched tyre brigade you cant even get proper sized & offset rims anymore to suit the tyres you want to run. :rant:

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
