could end badly

the attessa is sensitive enough to play up with worn rear tyres, so running a staggered offset you's have to get tyres that are really close in rolling circumference/diameter

offsets would probably be ok, is it for an auto or manual? i forget now

its a manual, and after using a rolling diameter calculator, icame up wiht the following.

these are the wheels combos.

19x9.5 +11 with a 275/30 tyre, overall diameter = 647.44 mm

19x8.5 +11 with a 235/35 tyre, overall diameter = 646.93 mm

so they are quite close, if i sit down im sure i can work out some difference in pressure to bring it even closer together.... the attessa isnt that sensitive is it haha... 1.49mm difference.

YES IT IS THAT SENSITIVE. YOU ARE NOT LISTENING. Having a slight flat tyre is enough to set off the attessa, just but wheels in IDENTICAL sizes. It's not a hard concept.

Actually no. Just ignore my post again. I want you to f**k your car, maybe then you will listen.

so to get this correct in my head for when i finally buy a decent set of rims. buying rims that are different widths (ie 8.5 and 9) with different width and sidewall height (ie 235/40 and 265/40,35 or watever) will f**k it up but if i get both as for example 19 inch by 9 inch with 245/40 tyres but have the fronts as +22 offset and rears as +11 offset won't. Ignoring the fact that i've pulled these numbers out of...well you know where as far as if they will fit in the guards. The fact that the only difference is the offset means they will work....yes? because the only difference is how far the outside of the rim sits from the hub?

sigh, dont post if you have onthing imformative to say

the reason im asking questions is because i need answers, otherwise, my car would have the wrong wheels by now, there no need to be a wanker. i understand the rolling diameter issue, thats fine, i just want to see how sensitive it is. now whats wrong with changing the tyres.... couldnt i just run 245's all round, im pretty sure u can go down to 235 on a 9.5 inch rim??? so a 245 should be fine, but it would be stretched on the 9.5 so again would that change the rolling diameter???

how are there others running staggered offsets?? ive seen other stages with it done.

thats correct, you can run different offsets, but not a different overall rolling outer tyre diameter. the problem ive got is finding somthing unique in my budget that suits the car

Off sets don't matter, just rolling diameter, I have 18x8 with +35 fronts and +6 rears on my rs4s, I didn't realize that the manual needs same offset front and rear and the auto needs staggered offsets when I bought my rims. I'm putting 30mm spacers on my front rims when I get the time.

f**k it, i decided to buy some KOYA Endless rims. 19x8.5 and they are blanks so i can choose the offset i want. $290 a rim with whateva offset i desire.

so, to make it simple, what offset should i run all round on 19x 9.5's on a RS4S to have the wheels sit just under the guards in the rear without pumping the guards. i will most likely buy 245x35's all round for the rubber.

lol im sick of hunting, its easier to get somthing made.

ok no wories, i hope ur right hahaha.... otherwise i will be wasting over a grand :P

going off a calculator this is what ive come up with

from the stock 6 spokes which are a 7" +30 offset

with a 19x8.5 at +6 offset

i will have and extra 5mm clearance on the inner side

and have a the wheels 43mm wider on the outside.

that sounds right, because as u could see in the original pics, that the wheels sit in quite a bit. so 43mm should bring them basically inline with the guards. but im just wondering if i should go a bit higher in offset to be on the safe sifde because i dont want to get them and not beable to lower the car, and i will more than likely put in some adjustable camber items to fix up bad camber from lowering, so i think i might go a +11, because i know for a cact i have 5mm extra on the inside of the wheels from where they fit now, so the inside will be sitting the same and the outside will be 38mm wider, whcih should give me a few mm of clearance for camber correction.

i wouldnt go +6, u will almost certainly have clearance issues once lowered. anywhere between +10 and +15 would be the go. ive got 18x8.5+23 on mine and they could use a 5mm spacer, but im not gonna use 1 cos its illegal.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
