Wheel and tyre sizes?

I am thinking about getting a Stagea some time soon and want to know if the wheels I got for my R33 will fit. They are buddy club P1’s 17X9 37 offset for the rear and 17X8 32mm offset for the front. I don’t have tyres on them yet but assume I would have to keep the rolling diameter exactly the same to avoid problem with the AWD system.

Thanks

You want the same size wheel & tyres on the front and back AFAIK

mcnamg thanks I read that other thread but didnt see anything about having winder wheels and tyres on the back than on the front.

I would be running 225 45 17 on the 8' wide wheels on the front and 245 40 17 on the 9' inch wheels on the back so the rolling diamiter should be within a few mm.

I'm not sure, but I think the Attesa sytem will notice different traction from the fronts to the rears which could cause some issues...

My understanding from what I have read throughout this part of the forum is that you want to use the same size wheels and tread front and rear - however perhaps having a slightly smaller diameter at the rear will make the car think that the rears are slipping slightly and throw a little more drive to the fronts - which you may want...

    • I would be looking at the tune mate. How do you know that you have such a low dynamic compression?  I had to dumb mine down because it was too jumpy when taking off (too much torque).  What ECU? Do you need help with the tune? 
    • Surely the cam timing is set to something stupid at low RPM?
    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product
