Volk Racing Ce28N Rims + Tyre Package - Aggressive Rims


Recommended Posts

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

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
