Also, if you have ABS you can’t have your tires 3% out.

why can’t you have ur tires 3% out if you have ABS?

@cgguy

a 2% difference in tire size wont stress your suspension a great deal…running supper low offsets and high camber angles are the biggest contributers to suspension stress and premature wear on parts.

how does running camber and have low offset rims put stress on your suspension? (not asking in a rude way, i really don’t know)

im currently running -2.5 (would this be considered a lot?)

in the future, im thinking of running 17x9 +20 for my s14 and run around -2 camber. how would this affect my suspension components? thanks!

[cgguy]

Anytime you change offset or camber you’re changing the stock suspension dynamics. Changing offset moves the rotational mass of the wheel outward from the hub affecting how your car will behave and change the load on other suspension components. Running wider offsets will add extra stress on the ball joints, wheel bearings etc. With your plans, all in all I wouldn’t worry too much.

Supposedly 3% or more may cause your ABS computer to think the wheels are slipping and apply braking when not needed. To me it only made sense if you were running a staggered set, IE 2% off up front and 6% off out back with a 4% difference.

That’s a pretty general statement. Keep in mind all wheels and tires regardless of size are going to have differing weights. For instance my 18 inch forged rims with tires actually weigh LESS than the stock 6 spoke rims they replaced. .

did you weigh your tires too? stock 7 spokes?

My bad, by stock 6 spokes I meant 5 spokes…woops spelling.

But I do know that the 95-98 5 lug, 5 star, 16" rims weigh in at roughly 18.5 lbs.

The S13 15" 7 spoke 5 lug rims weigh in at around 18lbs.

The 18" forged Rays weigh in at only 18.2 lbs…crazy.
