Hey team,

Ok, Im a little confused...

I read somewhere, someone said you should ALWAYS run the same Wheels and Tyre dimensions on ALL 4 CORNERS of a Stagea... I understand the principals of have 4x drive wheels... Subaru etc. and potentially destroying the drive train.

But...

The Stagea's don't run AWD...? I know of several GTR's that run different sizes front and rear?

Whether it be for example; 18x9 fronts and 19x10 rear....

Im' looking at getting a set of wheels but they're 17x8 and 17x9.

Just need some insight before I do something I regret and eventually devours my wallet.. :D

Cheers,

Aerron

Mate 17 x 8 and 17 x 9 SHOULD be ok.

Its the rolling diameter that you want to keep the same, width isnt so much an issue. Remembering it will make doing rotations a bit of a pain every 5,000

Hope this helps.

Ok, So say I was to run 17x8 and 17x9 and wrap them with 235/45's on all 4, even thought the 9's will stretch the 235's slightly, the over all rolling circumference should be very similar.. give or take a little.

Correct?

If you put the same tyres on all four wheels the difference in rolling diameter (especially dynamic) could be enough to upset the attessa. Good on you for being the trail blazer. I have seen 350z wheels that i would like but have not bought because front and rear were an inch different. let us know how you get on!

This was my theory to, i thought with the stretch and then the expansion with speed might affect it. Need a giunea cop.

Cheers for the imput guys :thumbsup:

Well to be safe I'll go back to square 1, either R33 GTR wheels or same dimension wheels...

But out of interest, how is that GTRs can pull of stagered fitment... even different diameters?

I guess abit of math... but even then I sat down and you cant get it perfect... :) they're always give or take 5 - 10mm different in circumference. I knew someone who had a 34 GTR had 18x9 front and 19x10.5 rear... regular time attack attender... never broke nor twisted and trive train gear?

:D

ive been running 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears for ages now

front are 235/45

rears are 245/40 allowing for the stretch to bring the rolling diameter in line

wen i first got my wheels they had shagged 255/40 and the attesa went ape-shit and would badly shake just below 60kmph and then violently at around 105kmph

went to a tyre shop and worked with them to get the right size diameter wise allowing for stretch

got the tyre changed,now all is well

im about to replace the rears,going to swap the front new tyres to the rear and get new fronts so ill be playing this game again soon...

This is the pain in the arse thing with the attessa system. Even with my stock stagea rims when I first got the car I got new tyres for the front and put the old fronts on the back (as you would normally do), however this caused the attessa system to do the same thing as you mentioned. So I eneded up getting them to put the new ones on the back and the old ones back to the front. Was fine then, so even the tread height difference between new and old tyres of the same size is enough to cause it to have a fit. So now I just get four new tyres, keep rotating them to get as much life out of all four as possible then replace all four again. But I really want to get some descent wheel soon (once suspension is sorted out) and would love to get wider wheels at the back but I'm not going to as I its going to stuff up the way I rotate wheels. So I'm thinking just 33 or 34 wheels.

I have been running 17x8 front 17x9 rear with 235/45 all round for a couple of years now with no problems as far as the attessa system goes. I have had it on Queensland raceway in this form also with no problems. When it comes time to do a rotation it’s a case of a strip and refit.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
