Hey guys,

My stagea is 4WD turned RWD, Previous owner had the front driveshaft removed I believe.

I'm thinking about fitting wheels which are:

18*8.5 +22 on the front and 18*9.5 +35 on rears. 225/35 on fronts and 245/40 on rears

Will this be fine to run considering I'm RWD?

Thank you.

Hi Rohan,

mate as long as rolling dia are same,should be sweet,

& as you may have read no need to pull front shaft,

Bubba is running RWD at moment with shaft in,

Good luck with small sidewall on WA`S poor roads,

how is he doing this? there is NO way you can safely run in rwd without pulling the shaft!

Bullshit. I've been running mostly in RWD since a couple of weeks before Powercruise. I have posted this up time and time again, if you refuse to believe, that's your problem but don't scaremonger.

Rohan, you want to run something like 225/40 and 245/35 to try keep the rolling diameter the same.. if you know what tyres you will be using, do a bit of research and match up some front and rears.

e.g. I run Federal 595's, if I was going to stagger I would go (depending on rim width) 255/35ZR18 90W 633mm OD and 225/40ZR18 88W 635mm OD

I think ATTESA can handle up to 5% difference before it flips out.

255/55R18 109V XL 735 7.0- 9.0 1030

I ran staggered offsets with it still being 4wd. 8.5 +22 and 9.5 +25's. It was fine. Ijust ran 235/45s front and rear.

If your's is an auto, you will struggle to get a 9.5 +35 to fit. I run +22 and without camber arms it touched the coilover body on big bumps.

Manual, I'm probably just going to get them and if I have problems I'll change the tires so that diameter is the same.

Thank you everyone.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
