Hell Yeah!!! I wanna run staggered as well!~ Keep us posted on the R&D driving lol

 

that sucks to be in the snow when your not on vacation or a ski trip or something. you better have a AWD lol

 

I found this info on calculating overall tire diameter. Hope this helps, if not flame on!!!!

width of tire x 0.sidewall height of tire
---------------------------------- + rim diameter = Overall wheel diameter
25.4

Ex. 245/35R 19

245 x 0.35
------------- + 19 = 22.37 inches
25.4

 

Clever idea, but two facts get in the way of it being completely accurate.

1) You have to count both sidewalls -- that is, diameter = wheel size + 2 x sidewall height.

2) The section width and aspect ratio are only approximate.

In truth, this method will get you "close enough," but for better accuracy use pages like this.

 

So did anybody try to use since the last message ?

 

I use these little tools to determine tire sizes and diameter

Thanks!
I meant did anybody set up diiferent widht 19' wheels ?
I'm going to do that and still afraid i can get problems with AWD.
What do you think about 225/45 R19x7,5 ET45 front and 245/45 R19x8,5 ET50 rear ?
Seems that the height of the wheels shoud be about the same.

I have G35x 2007

 

I know of about 3 different people on here who have run staggered on AWD and have for a while. Seddon has done so for over a year without problems. I'm next when I find a nice set of wheels.

 

Cool. Thanks. Some guys in Moscow (Russia) are going to setup in March as well.
What size will you take ?
We think about 225/45 R19x7,5 ET45 front and 245/45 R19x8,5 ET50 rear as i mentioned.
If you have any ideas please let me know. You will help alot

 

Those are way off. The 245/45 is about 17% taller. Plus those offsets and front wheel is really week. If you want to run staggered, I would go with a 19x8.5 +30-35 front and 19x9.5 +40 (i think you can get away with that), and run 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear. Or you can go with a 235/40/19 f and a 265/35/19 r.

 

Good Point! thanx
