what other v6/tt/awd 90's jap cars can you remember?

[PJ Prendergast]

Hey I know its been talked and talked about on here but I was just thinking about staggered wheels on AWD and got thinking about R32s. VW kids stagger them all the time. So I did a little research and they use the Haldex system. I found a quote that says it allows for a 4% difference front to back. I dont know if this applies to the vr4 but just another staggered awd platform you can research when your picking your tire sizes.

just got back to my own thread lol thanks for the heads up! i'm actually not going for a staggered fit anymore : /

looks nice

thanks!

i'm picking up some 18x9.5's all around. unfortunately the 18x12's out back would require loads of fender work, and i just don't have the heart to do that to this car. someday i plan on owning another vr4 that i can beat the shit out of and not care as much lol i'll have some pics of the new wheels this weekend! pulling off my turbos next week over spring break as well

Good choice on the wheel situation. I didnt want to try to sway you away from your wheels but I thought the staggered idea was more trouble than its worth. Awaiting pics!

I love these bad boys. Looking forward to it. & btw how much do these weigh? (consider getting one of these pretty soon after owning a couple dsm's)

well i got my 18x9 +15's all around now with a mild stretch. they poke quite a bit so i had to raise the car up for now, but my plan is to tuck and drop. for some reason, i have the front camber plates slid all the way over and i'm getting like zero camber, i may have them machined haha my rear wheels will tuck nicely once i put on my camber arms. here's some pics i took today

bye bye
