Volk Racing Ce28N Rims + Tyre Package - Aggressive Rims

links to the aftermarket recommendations?

a tyre stretched 1" more on the rear than the front will have the same rolling diameter?

There are countless threads explaining why not to do it, doesnt mean people dont. It just isnt recommended by most people

Most GT-R Panasports are staggered width, many older 3 piece Volk GT-R fitments were staggered width, Modenas , Koenigs...etc Generally no more than about a 0.5-1" stagger though.

1" of stretch will make 1/17 of bugger all difference to the diameter. Needs to be serious stretch, like stick your finger between the bead and outer lip sort of thing, for it to make a noticeable difference and even then it wouldn't add up to enough to hurt ATTESA in any way.

There are countless threads repeating countless threads, mostly by people who have no experience whatsoever and are just parroting what they read.

If we are talking say 235 or 245/35R19 all round on 19x9.5/10.5" stagger or similar there will be NO issue.

Meh, you just run same tyre sizes front to rear, total non-issue, many aftermarket recommended fitments for GT-Rs run a slight width stagger.

The thing about 34s surging due to worn tyres is also a bit of an old wives tale. ATTESA can tolerate about 3% diameter difference front to rear, which is almost 20mm on a 235/45R17 (for example). So basically one tyre would have to have 10mm of tread depth and one on the canvas for it to be a big deal. Even at 1.5% we're talking a solid 5mm or so difference in tread wear before there's a problem. If your rear tyres are down to the indicators, surging awd is the least of your issues.

I'm only going on my own experience.. I put same size, offset volk's onto my stagea. The tyres on the front were new and the rears were 15-20% worn. The attessa played up untill I put matching tyres on the back. It's a S2.

I origionally had 265's on the back of the GTR and 255's on the front. Same deal, the attessa would play up untill I put matching size tyres on the front. 32 isn't so bad as the awd system isn't allways engaged like 33-34, but I still had issues with it.

Personally the only staggered fittment I have ever seen on a GTR was a veilside wide body with 14" rears and 12" front rims.. but the atessa had an aftermarket controller.

I've had up to two full tyre sizes different on my S1 with no issue (215/50 and 225/55 when we got it!). I reckon you had another problem somewhere else, which was exacerbated by the tyre sizes.

I'm not saying it isn't an issue at all, just that if you have the same size tyres all round it shouldn't be any issue.

which is what i was saying.

There are ppl who say it affects it ppl who say it doesnt..what works for someone may not work for others...

Your last line is the perfect reason not to do it, same width wheel and tyre will cause no issues

Same here, not saying its not true, i have not seen it though

BTW when I say same size, I mean same brand/pattern as well. Lots of diameter variance between companies.
