With a 2.5 inch stagger, the car is going to want to constantly push. You wont be able to achieve the same turn ins that some of the others running a lower stagger will.

There is an excellent chance you’ll prematurely heat and wear your front tires as a result of excessive pushing and the extra weight of the RB motor.

Basically you are good for about one run before you need to cool your fronts, and as they wear, your push more and more earlier in your run.

What’s the point of running such a large stagger when all it does is place more stress on your front tires that already have thier work cut out for them…g

“These wheels are the most extreme. These will be used for time attack as well as for photo shoots and shows. They will not be used for drifting.”

Time attacks being what? like autocross?

being like, a show car

if it was for time attacks the ywouldnt have fm901s they would have slicks.

sick mags but lets be honest.

I dont think the stager is that bad for a 600+hp car, look at most race cars lots of them run a 285F/355R type setup, which would not be a problem here at all

Those cars are usually mid or rear engined so the effects aren’t as severe as an RB in an S13.

and your point? dude lighten up. who cares… its all about blinging it up and bein a pimp. if those driftfatory guys are gonna have probs drifting the 13inchers then let it be… they prob got another set anyways with the kidna money theyre dumpin in to that thing.

maybe u should post up some specs/pics of YOur 240 so we can all see how a person with your knowledge and mechanical wisdom builds it the right way.

His car is on the banner at the top of SON right now. I am sure Bob can  
post some more pics of his car.

He doesn’t do mods quickly and rush things to be JDM tyte. Instead his  
mods are all carefully thought out and done to perfection. I wish I had the  
patience to do it that way :?

Look at the vettes and all the other silly torque monsters

They keep adding rear tire to gain out of corner acceleration

MR cars add more tire it seems to keep them from getting light on dive in

Either way at low speeds you’ll run out of front grip and high speeds you’ll run out of rear grip, agreed?
