I bought some 18x9.5 +22 rays which I'm about to pop on mine, under the recommendation of mike (forum member) I have also bought some adjustable camber and Toe arms for the rear to help them sneak under (gktech billet numbers) to avoid rolling the guards. Apparently 245/40 18 is the tyre size you would be after to avoid rubbing.

I'll let you know how they fit in a couple of weeks :)

harts.

The fronts will fit fine the backs will sit I a fair way . Have a look at" jet r31" stagea he is running the se offset from memory or very close to think 9.5 +22.your fronts will fit the same but as said your backs will sit further in due to smaller cradle if I had a manual cradle id prob be trying to run a ten on the rear ,

I ran staggered fitment for a while. 8.5" front, 9.5" rears. both had 235/40 tyres. They were fine until the tyres started to wear, then I started having some funny vibrations under load.

I then fitted 9.5's up front as it looked a little funny..

What are the measurements for most of you running wide rims in the rear? Shock - rim, shock collar - tyre, rim - guard etc.

on a 9.5" 245/35/19 mine are: 15mm rim to shock. 10mm shock collar to tyre. 5mm poke.

Do most of you use standard struts with springs?

Hmmm ok so what's the rule with staggered fitment and

attesa? As long as the tyres are the same width?

No its not the width its the rolling circumference that's important and ideally the width will be the same too as otherwise there will be a difference in grip.

Yep, make sure your rolling diameters are the same front and rear... It's much cheaper and easier to choose the right diameters than it is to remove, repair and replace the transfer case.

Yep, not sure if I'll go staggered just yet. Might be going for a set of cheap 18x9.5 +30 all round that I've come across for a while until I can get the the $ together for some more aggressive Meisters and coil overs.

They'll fit directly on no hassles and look waaaay better than the stockies for now

+25 should piss it in on an rs4s

manual rear cradle 9 +12 is the go apparently

that's what im running, fk all room between the tyre and perch though on my coilovers, I rubbed away a sidewall on 1 tyre already, had to raise the car up to make more clearance for rough roads :D

  • 2 weeks later...

I picked up a 97 WGNC34 AUTO,AWD and has the 4pot front and 2 pot rear brakes(same as ECR33 GTS33).Its currently factory height and if I lower it, it will be done with GTR33 lowering springs. I am looking at putting 18in rims and tires on the car. need to know will 18x9.5 will be to wide and what offset to use, and should I go with 235/35/18 all around or 245/35/18 all around? I also don't want to do a BIG stretch or roll the fenders also.

these r the rims I am looking at for my stag

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
