Is Nissan's warning about VDC equiped vehicles true?

Is this note actually true or is it just nissan BS way of trying to get more money from you. Lets say you have a VDC touring model and decide to put aftermarket Volks. Will you VDC not work due to your new lightened rims??? What if you have Eibach springs and Volk wheels with no sway bars? Does your car slip out of control or loose straightline power because your car always thinks something is unbalanced?

Thanks

you can do anything you want with the suspension etc...

as long as the tire diameters are relitive to stock size....

ie:

245/40/18 / 275/40/18

245/35/19 / 275/35/19

265/35/18 / 295/35/18 etc etc

hey jay what if i ran
front-17 x 19.5 rim with 255/40R17
rear- 18x10.5 rim with 265/35R18
i was planning on running this like the concept RS car. is this cool? thanks bud

If you do the 255/40/17 up front, you should run 275/35/18 in the rear...

you want around .6" difference in diameter

depending on overall size that is... in this case... the above is what you want...

oo do you think the RS concept has 265 rear for better turn in perhaps?

which car are you reffering to?

you can do 275 on the front no problem...

im talking about the nismo RS concept S1 the one with the canard nissan bumper and the v1 wing and the infamous rear diff oil cooler

im not 100% familar with that car, but I believe that has 18x9.5 LMGT4's all around w/ 275/35/18 all around... that will effect VDC...

we do 275/35/18 Front / 275/40/18 Rear

like this...

So any increase must be proportional to front and rear. So +20 in width on front should be also +20 in rear tire?

Now what happens if you have nismo suspension and rims but no sway bar? Does that really affect anything?

as long as you have the correct ratio between front and rear you can have any size...


you can do any part of the suspension seperately... suspension and wheels only... or wheels and sways only... etc etc... the only thing that that matters is that the tire size is slightly larger in the rear (overall diameter) then the front...

Technically, the computer must see the staggered difference, but in all reality its on a per car basis. I run 265/35/18 on all for corners and my VDC/TCS functions as normal. No problems at all.

Have you guys actually experienced VDC difficulties running non-stagger?

I've run non-stagger for close to 3 years and I've had ZERO VDC issues. Regardless of tire make/size (same size all round), VDC has worked like a charm - especially during the winter with snow/ice covered roads...

In fact our local Infiniti dealership sells non-stagger winter wheel/tire packages for G35 with VDC...

We will figure it out when you get a 350Z.:)

Ive been in cars that peoplehave had 245/35/19 / 275/30/19 and under hard acceleration the car sputters and vdc comes on...

there is a way to re-calibrate the system....

I am considering a brand new Z and I am doing the proper research before making my decision. Theres no need to display my information and flame me about it, thats immature if you ask me. There is no pre-requirement of owning a Z before posting a question on this forum. I brought up and issue that other Z owners and myself were curious about.

Thank you

The RS Concept uses 17x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear with 255/40/18 front, 265/35/18 rear, but in an R compound (A048)

yup i want to do a same rim sizing so im trying to figure out what is the correct tires so my VDC is happy!
