Different Wheel Sizes ....

[-FUZZY-]

Looking at some new wheels, and need some advice.

Are we able to with stagea's use different width wheels on the front to the back??

so for example 8's at the front & 9's at the back, or do they have to be all 8's or all 9's?

thanks!

people will say that you could adjust that by using different tyres etc, but its never going to be perfect.

Id personally never use different wheels front to rear, just get 4 of the exact same. (Makes buying 2nd hand wheels hard)

Tell me about it. Just about everything l find l like is different widths!

So really apart from searching in the stagea area, can only really look at gtr, evo & gto wheels correct? as they are all AWD's.

Yeah and you wouldnt be able to rotate them, and if you did get directional tyres you wouldnt even be able to swap sides.

I say just go for 4 of the same, I can see the point of having wider rears for rwd vehicles, but for awd vehicles it doent make much difference.

dont go too wide either. Beyond 9 inchs is just overkill to me

probably an 8.5 or 9 is as wide as u'd want. gets really expensive after that... as well as there's no point.

I had 225s front and 245s at the back, on 18x8.5s, which had a slightly different rolling diameter, and was advised that its never a good thing. You'll never get two different width tyres with the same diameter.

Your gear box will be trying to turn your fronts and backs at the same speeds, whereas the road will be doing otherwise cos of different diameters.

Phat rims and tyres look good all round anyway, so no dramas there.
