Integra Type S - My Story

[plAythiNG]

Booked in for JDMyard's next track day on 19/01/15! GOnna be sick, 2 days after my wedding gonna hit up wakie!

Got new wheels coming in 17x9/8+35. Going to run RS-3 in 235/45/17 configuration. I believe my rotors have had it also, so going to get new setup!

All the best with the wedding and track day man, sounds like the best week ever haha.

Going to leak out what wheels these are? Haha. I find it quite odd though that you'll be running 235/45 all round on a staggered wheel setup though.

^ can't wait for the new brake set up. I'm thinking of the same thing in the future

Cheers Peter. I was going to go 225/45/17 on the rears, but I guess the rolling figures would put it a little off? I ahve also noticed that I dont have much wear on the rears, and reallyt they are jsut turning up for the journey. I decided to go with 235/45/17 all around so that when the fronts wear down, I can switch over from front to rear tyres and still be good to go. I dont see any downside to running same size tyres on staggered wheel widths, but please correct me and I guess I still have time to go down to 225..

I think im just going to do the regular DBA 4000 T3 rotor and DS2500. Been good so far and havent ahd any issues. Midn you its a stock AUDM K20 and thats it...

The downsides that "I" may see the sidewall on the rears won't be as optimally supported in comparison the front so there might be a lot more sidewall flex in the rear which can give you some weird handling characteristics with more roll and etc. It also may look a bit weird with a beefier looking sidewall happening at the rear in comparison to the front as it's less stretched with the more narrow wheel.

I personally would only go with non staggered tyres only on a non staggered wheel setup for those reasons and for the balance.

[plAythiNG]

hmm, I guess 225's are on the cards than! thoughts on 235/40 or 235/45 on the 9j?

rolling diameters would be more even using the 235.40 to match against the 225/45 yeah?

[wongy]

Why not just borrow my RE30's with 285/35 bro, very wide for lots of traction, will set new PB no worries.

[ChargeR]

Personally I'd go for 245/40 front and 225/45 rear, for the reasons Pete mentions above. The compliance of the tyre is a major part of the suspension system and affects driver feel a lot, so I generally try to keep the ratio of wheel width to tyre width similar at the front and the rear. Also 235/45 is an ugly balloon tyre on a DC5 .

Whatever you decide, good luck at the track. PBs!

[plAythiNG]

Haha Tom I know you've never liked the 235/45 tyre profile!

I guess I will have to go 245's and get some camber bolts to push in osme more neg camber!

Had a look at my car at the BBQ on the weekend and noticed I will need my rears machined or replaced. In addition to getting new front rotors too.
