zane9000 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I am on the fence about doing this. I have an R180 and plan on upgrading to a R200 w/LSD in the next year or so; this ill just be a temporary "solution"... My main concern that I have 9" wide rear tires and I am thinking it will be considerably harder to make turns than with the stock tires. Has anyone had experience with this sort of set up?

G.I.jonas Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have my r160 on my subaru welded - and yes on most any vehicle there is going to be a noticeable difference turning in parking lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I ran a welded diff with 10" and 9.5" slicks on a road coarse for years. Faster than open but it in the parking lot you can tell it's welded. If it's not a track car I wouldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Since its a temporary solution, weld it up and see it you can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesussalvdr Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Since its a temporary solution, weld it up and see it you can handle it. exactly, and if you don't like it, It'll force you to get the permanent solution sooner. if you do like it, who knows you might just keep it that way.

zane9000 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I guess Ill go for it then. I just wanted to make sure the wider tires would be an issue. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
