Anyone ever run their coupe on non staggared? friend of mine trying to sell some volks off to me from his honda but they're non staggared...

just less grip right?


on another note:
gf just got an IS350... i'm depressed... gotta go FI or something sheesh....

 

I've seen it if you have all wheels/tires the same size, sure, but why? Wide rears are part of the look as well as part of the function. To each his own

 

I don't want to, but he's willing to let them go to me for a couple hundred ONLY, since he's getting rid of the car. It would be so wrong to turn around and re-sell So I was wondering if i should actually just get them and use them since it's a killer deal. they're 19's fitted with 225 sized tires.

so it's pretty much jsut less grip right? spinning out alittle more when chirping gears... or is there something else I should be worried about?

This is all assuming that I get it, which I might not. but just a thought.

 

The rims are the same size on our cars. It's just the tires that are different. I run a non-staggered setup on my car, 245's front and rear on stock rims.... works fine as long as you keep your overall tire diameter within close proximity of stock so that the VDC doesn't get all screwed up.

 

i've read on here that a non-staggered set up could throw off your VDC.

 

why are you depressed?..

is350 is a good challenge for the G.. plus it's an AUTO = FTL.. lol

now if ur girl got a bmw 335i coupe , that's something to be depressed about ..

so keep your chin up diesel azn..

 

you will lose some of that beautiful understeer though! i incresed my stagger-ment...new setup on the way 245 in the front 285 in the back

 

wrong bro we were havin that convo on g35nyc lol is350 hands it to g35s lovellyyyy lol Ive got mine handed to me by some older dude he was really proud and doubt he was f/ied but his lisence plate said IS350 lol


You can put on all the bolt ons you can on a g35 and tune it, and you cant even keep up with the is350 from a dig.

and they're really mod happy. ive seen them stock dyno around 275whp...

I want one myself =X

 

never did with me...

op what are the offsets/specs?

19x?

225/??/19

 

so you plan on running a thinner than stock tire in the rear? Nice....

 

nice sig redlude... lol

 

so it does mean less grip though right? especially when chirping through the gears?



some have problems with VDC, others have not, *noted.

all I can say about the IS350 is that... it's fast... slightly jelous... and now she never wants to drive ANYWHERE!

 

yes.

 

Where's ORLY I want to see him say that non staggered rims on a coupe make him sad.

Yah, you have to do something about that gf's car faster than your car thing. You might as well be holding her purse too.

 

Partyman, so what exactly are you running now?

My wifes rear tires on the stock 19s are fine. I just wanted to throw new front tires on it. I HATE how the 225s look stretched, not to mention they are actually MORE expensive then running a wider set.

Do you think 245-35-19s would be OK in the front without upsetting the VDC? (this is while maintaining the standard 245-40-19 in the back).

Or, are you running 245-40-19s all around?!
