Hi, I just recently discovered a crack on one of my front rims so I decided to replace the front two wheels with the stock 15"s. I was unable to replace the rears due to only having the 2 of the stock rims. So the rears are 18's while the fronts are 15's.

Will this have any ill effects on any car components? Or will the computer be able to compensate for the change?

The 18" rim is irrpairable as the crack is through an entire spoke, and I haven't the money to purchase 4 new rims.

Thanks in advance.

R33 GTS Series 2

(Also I'm making a 1k trip from my current location to another due to uni finishing, hence why I'm a little hesitant)

to jiffo I can't reply to you pm because of my post count. I was wondering if I convert the skyline to rear wheel drive by disabling the ATTeSA system using the instructions in the r33 manual, will that be alright temporarily while I save up money for new rims? Thanks in advance!

Tony,

Apparently it's a GT4, Rb25de.

But forgetting about the ATTESA, I've explained you can't legally drive with 16's on the front and 18's on the rear.

Go the stock 16's all round.

He doesn't actually say that.

It's possible it's RWD but he thinks it's AWD.

Just to clarify its a GTS4. I converted it to RWD by disconnecting the air thing and pumping the breaks. I assumed it was RWD as the 4wd light is always on, But when I tried t test it by spinning the wheels all 4 still spun. ;)

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
