Staggered Fitment

[RoyceR32]

Hey guys, I've got an R32 GTS-4 and really keen on getting 18x9+20 on the fronts and 18x10+18 on the rears. But I want to make sure the rears will clear everything and there won't be any fitment issues with the rims hitting the insides of the car. Just wanna make sure that 10 inch wide rears wont affect the drive. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks!

that fitment should be pretty good , youll just need to get rears pumped . im running 10s + 22 all around on my r33 gtst . all depends what work your willing to put in to make wheels fit . my 2c

Need to run the same diameter tyres or attessa will shit a brick

[xALmoN]

they have the same diameter though. just different widths and offsets.

[zebra]

Yes but If he wants to run different size tyres

Eg I wouldn't run a 235/45 on a 10" rear rim

[RoyceR32]

I'm after stretch and poke as well so I'm chucking 225/40/18 on the front and 235/40/18 on the rear. Should look insane!

Will look even better up on the hoist with a burnt out transfer case being replaced

This.

You need the same size tyres all round mate.

Fashion over function?

you ask for advice, here it is.

[RoyceR32]

I don't quite follow?

what they are saying is - you do what you like so it will "look" awesome.

right up until the 4wd poos itself and you have to repair/replace the 4wd transfer case.

the skyline attessa needs the same rolling diameter front and rear in order not to shit itself. You use different width/aspect ratio tyres at your own peril

and while I'm not here to tell you what to do - it's your car - i will say:

1. it looks shit

2. the camber you'll run will destroy tyres instantly

3. the wear on CVs, etc will be greater

4. you run the risk of damaging the rim much faster

5. it will be uncomfortable as an enima, so if it's your daily ride, good luck with that

...and probably a whole lot more issues.

But hey, what price to get the bitches (which, contrary to what car modifiers think, it won't help you. F&F has a lot to answer for).

[alex182]

in a nutshell, if you run different rolling diameters, the 4WD system will think the wheels are spinning and shit itself trying to compensate.

[RoyceR32]

How about on a gts-t? rwd? disregard all the 4wd issues.

[zebra]

No, RWD cars still have the 4wd system so you cant do it to them either

[RoyceR32]

Can't do what?

[mico]

lol

[xALmoN]

Drop the front driveshafts...real cars don't need em anyway
