i was looking around and was wondering a few things about a staggered setup on the 4
-ive seen pictures and mod lists saying 8.5 inch rims in the front 9.5 inch rims in the rear. can anyone point me to where i can find offsets/specs for these wider rims on the car? ive checked gt4oc, but noone lists their offsets -im assuming the rolling diameter of the tire and rim has to be almost identical in order to keep from burning up the center diff? thanks -Bryan |

yes, the offsets were posted ,but the problem ive run into isn't just the offset anymore
ive found after posting this thread is that you can't get say a 235/40/18 tire to be the same rolling diameter as a 255/35/19 tire (just using those size as close examples -wider tread with lower profile) you can get the diameters close, but not exact -therefor you'ed be slowly destroying the center diff. so i think im just going to go with an 18x8 rim with less offset in the back if i cant find anything else. thanks for the info though -Bryan This post has been edited by CelicaB: Dec 8, 2006 - 12:48 PM |
