Gts4 Wider Rims

[Kappacrazed]

Currently on my GTS4 there are work autostada modenas 17x8 +27 on 225/50 on the front and 17x9 +24 on 225/50 in the rears. Will running wider rims on rear cause issues with attesa or wear on the transfer case? When turning in 4wd there is some wheel hop or something but might be caused by the previous owner using hockey pucks as bushing on the subframe i think.

Even though the tyres are the same profile (225/50), they will be stretched out slightly more on the 17x9 wheels causing the front and back to be slightly different. The difference will be multiplied worse if the tyres are a different brand or they have completely different wear. You could take the risk and they work out, or the 4WD system will just keep sending power to the front wheels thinking the rears are slipping 24/7 prematurely wearing out ATTESA system (wasn't designed to be run fulltime)

^^^like he said. 225 is too small for 9in rims anyway - try to get some matching 8in rims for the rear.

Dident you already make a thread about your attessa playing up? and we told you stagered rims are NO good?

Get same size all round and be done with it. Otherwise get a rwd.
