hey, well heres a noob question, but here goes

on my car b4 i had Si's with all four azenis, and the car was on f2 type 2 suspension, so i would take turns pretty hard and pretty grippy!

now i just bought myself some 5zigen fno1r-c but 16x7 with offset 33
and the tires are kumho ecsta 205 45 16

i am hittin a lot but i will need fender rolling
BUT THE MAIN QUESTION IS

if i make a mini sharp turn, or lets see im on the freeway and turn the steering wheel left then right, left then right but fast
the car seems as if its about to give out and feels like the backs going to slip!

any remarks?
is it the tires? the rim size?

 

anyone?

if i was trying to initiate a fishtale like you are, im sure the back end of any car would slip out.

 

do you have a strut bar? on front and back? the front one may help.

but... so will not trying to make your car get loose. this is not drifting. also those rims are probably heavier then the ones you took off. that will be adverse to handling. im sure it would not be a profound impact but still an impact.

 

Should of got thew 42 offset

that would have helped with rubbing but thats not his main concern. his main concern is the newly acquired loss of traction out back.

 

what size of tires did you have before? im wondering if with a shorter sizewall if the tire isnt flexing as much and therefore wanting to break loose quicker.

 

b4 i had 205 50 15
now its 205 45 16

just feels like the car isnt in any traction at all.

and no, didnt have strut bars b4, dont have one now.

thanks

which ecsta are you running? it sounds more like a tire problem, and a sway bar issue, not a tower bar issue.
