Kinda alloy related, certainly wheel related.
I have Evo X 245/40/18's here which will need new tyres soon. I also have a brand new set of 235/40/18's tyres which were destin to go on another car before I sold it. Will the tyres fit & stretch without causing issues?
Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car
I'm running a lot skinnier than that on 9's so yeah man, will be fine.
Tbf I have 225/40's on a pair of 10's lol
Good work & that's saved me a few quid. Cheers
Can anyone clarify for me if the VR4 4wd and ayc system will react like the GTR ATTESSA system does if the front and rear wheel sizes are different?
Not many of us have experience of the ATTESSA system. What do you mean by react?
That aside, if the difference in rolling radius between front and rear tyres is too much (say, more than a couple of percent), then you will have drivetrain problems, most likely with the centre diff overheating.
Basically the 4wd system struggles to control the loss of traction by controlling the centre diff to split the torque when the tyre or wheel size differs too much between the front and rear wheels.
My tyres are 1.9% different and all seems OK.
1 to 2 percent seems okay. 4 percent has killed a couple of transfer boxes.
Anyone know what these wheels are? Legy.jpg
Closest match i have found is the Rota G-force.
Thinking of going with 18x9 +30. Will this offset work well to have the rims sitting just outside the wheel arches? Want to have a slightly stanced look. Will put smaller tyres on as well to avoid guard rub.
advan rs. 9+30 is one of the best sizes for a lowered vr4. youll need 225/40 or 235/40 tyres. the rear guards must be rolled. front maybe too depending on height.
those pictured are 9+22 for reference. so 9+30 is 8mm further inwards than pictured
Awesome thanks mate! They aren't cheap
Just a question, how can you tell the offset by looking at the pic? Ideally I want to try the get the same fitment as the picture. Do you think there will be rubbing issues? I could probably go for a 225 tyre on a 9 inch wheel if so.
245/40/18 8.5j et35 5x 114.3, will they clear brembos? I know the 245/40/18 is ok as thats what I have atm & I know the 5x 114.3 is ok but what about the rest? I is ryte stooopid when it comes to these things
ET play biggest role at what's fit over brembos and what's not

not always. actually id say offset ( or ET) has next to nothing to do with brembo clearance. it depends on the rim. what wheels are they?
I have come across a set of 18" rays wheels that I really like, they are currently fitted on an evo x. The widths are 9.5" front and 10" rear with et of +22, tyres fitted will be 255 35 18 all round.
What I would like to know is firsly will they fit without rubbing on a legnum that is still on stock suspension?
And also will there be an issue with the front and rea wheels being of different size, even though I will be putting on the same size tyres all round?
Thanks.
I run them sizes. My offsets are et 27 rear and 17 front.
is Will not be possible on stock suspension, u will need to go as low as u can to induce camber, and you will also have to run the absolute limit of stretch, I jave 225/40 on the tens and 215/40 on the 9.5
u must definately should not fit the same tyres all round on staggered fitment, u need to get the rolling radius within 1-2%
t it is possible, although
Them rears will hang 5 mm further out than mine and mine are tight on the arches, and these will also need rolling
