Guys

Question - I'm thinking of replacing the 18" wheels on my 6MT "G" with a set of Nismo's, also 18". Stocks are 8" wide all around. Nismo's are 8.5" front, 9.5" out back. Offsets are stock 30mm f&B, Nismo's are 25mm F and 30mm rear.

Problem - Nismo offically says not for use with VDC. Why not? Why would this affect anything? I tried to reach Tod at Tire Rack, to talk to him about it. Couldn't reach him. Courtesy didn't know. Jenny at Performance said they had a bullitin that said I would need to replace the springs and sway bar with Nismo Pieces. I don't want to do this. Why would that make a difference? Anyone have an opinion on this?

i believe Todd is from discount tire, that might help you get a hold of him.

as far as new springs and sway bars they are just trying to make a sale, that has nothing to do with the rims. as far as vdc it will only affect it if your tires are different diameters than stock. if you get thos rims and need new tires go with 245/40/18" fronts and 275/40/18" rear that seems to be the choice of most people that are sticking with 18" rims plus they are the closest to the stock diameter but wider and make the car look tough!

 

I ment Tod at Discount Tire. Slip of the tounge, er finger.
That was the sizes I had planned on using.
