plasticdash Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Whats the go with running different width tyres on a full time 4wd vehicle - , just wondering what % different rolling diameter is ok before the centre diff gets unhappy (open centre diff - difference calculated at 0.5% to 0.9% depending on wheel options) edit - found a staggered wheel option that will allow 0.24% rolling difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoKer Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 yea myth is its not ideal in Subaru's thats for sure but I reckon thats what Diff's are for! (but I run all same and only replace 2 tires at a time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'd say you'd get away with a bit if its a non-lsd centre. How much? Pass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 don't be a budge cunt. you'll fuck the centre diff, open or not.. I'd only run half worn with new tyres of the same size as a maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKAZ Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Not really ideal but the centre diff can take a little bit up. I would say that would be acceptable. edit just checked my reference sheet, should be just kosher but no more would be an error.... Oh and when was I eating said pie?????

Chur, thats a great answer . van im looking at has 8.5's and 9.5's on it currently ... with 215 50 17's all round . looks a bit too stretch for my liking or for heavy loading/northland roads/deewuns etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
