Ever since iv put on my new rims and tires (Volk GT-S f-19x9.5 +18, r-19x10.5 -2) iv noticed that when i take a turn lets say on a bridge going from one freeway to another, at a speed of 45-50mph, if i press on the gas, the SLIP light comes on and of course seems like the power shuts off.


Any Ideas on why?

 

wow... you created three different threads...

Question answered here: https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-n...ml#post8238772

Do NOT double (or triple, quadruple, etc.) post. Thanks.

 

Well since the Mods of this forum deleted all my posts regarding my issue, i cant even go back to the other thread. So, not only am i still stuck with out an answer, i now have an cool little infraction.

So can it be the fact that my front tires are 245/35/19's and rears are 275/30/19's and the fronts are too tall for the rears or the rear diff is going out?


please give me useful help guys, dont bash my set up and give me smart remarks...Thank you! I also think iv gotten enough infractions and warnings for one day.

 

This is already answered in the Top 100 Questions thread. You should have read it first thing

 

does the top 100 threads give an answer for my question of is it the tires or my rear diff? cause that was my issue. I'm sure if i researched all day and all night i could find something but doesnt that defeat the purpose of being on a forum to ask questions from "knowledgable" people? Does the top 100 questions have an answer for that too?

 

It's as clear as day, your front tires are too tall in relation to the rears.

You should have purchased 275/35/19's for the rear.

That is specifically answered in the top 100 questions. The reason nobody is giving you direct answers is that we see this crap at least once a week, which is why they came up with the top 100 FAQ's, READ BEFORE POSTING, article.

There is presumably nothing wrong with your diff.

 

FYI, it would have been about 3 minutes of research, probably less...definitely less time than posting 3 or 4 threads and waiting for a response.

 

again, my main issue was the rear diff or my tires...its just sad that people post smilie faces and non related posts on threads and i get flammed for asking a question. backwards concept if you ask me. but what ever. thanks for ALL the help guys.

 

Buying the wrong size tires will not cause your diff to go out. Just install the proper tires.

 

Yes, they are deleted now because you triple posted. I did answer in your other thread though, did you not see the answer?

245/35/19 fronts are taller than your rubber band 275/30/19 rear. Put those on the front, and get properly-sized wheels and tires for the rear. Alternatively and more likely, get a 30 series front tire since a 35 series rear tire won't likely fit with that silly offset.

 

thanks terrasmak, first legit answer to my question. i guess what i can do is put the stockers back on and see if itll happen again. if it doesnt, then its for sure the new tire size.

 

You mean besides the one I gave you almost an hour ago? Anyway, it is.

 

good, then delete this and give me another warning followed by an infraction for continueing to post regarding the same issue.

 

There's no need for any further warnings for your triple post. Nothing happens unless you get 5 points, and you've only received 1. No biggie, and now you know.

 

 

Front tires taller than rear. Very common mistake.

 

This post in the Top 100 Questions thread...

answers your exact question.

And that's why it in the Top 100 Questions thread.

 

That's how simple it is, 5 words from davidv. Yet, still completely correct.
