Will 18" wheels and tires have a negative affect on the Type SH ATTS system?

 

ATTS transfers torque to the wheel being turned upon...therefore if the wheel is bigger it is obviously heavier and has a longer rotation then say a 16 inch wheel...so if the wheel is bigger, heavier, and has a longer rotation then it will put more stress on the atts system which should still be fine but remeber that atts steals a little power...

it should be fine tho cause i have 18 inch roh adrenalines on my type sh and its fine not much of a difference notice in turning jsut in acceleration it slwoed me down a bit. but other then that ull be aright

 

Yeah, rotational mass is a biatch is'nt it? That's why i've been considering going with some 16x7 rota GT3s instead of the previously planned 18x7.5 Subzeros. This way I'll be able to afford some REALLY sticky tires and a rear anti roll bar.

 

18" with 215/35 rubber is roughly the same diameter as 205/50/16 so you are okay on that side...it's not a longer rotation

 

sorry to hijack the thread but. Do you think lighter wheels would help ATTS?

 

Probably not...but lighter wheels will help you get more power to the ground.

 

18" wheels will not negatively affect the ATTS, unless the car is slammed.
