Anybody got first hand experience with stagger in the 5-6% range?

I'm looking at a tire size that will give me ~ 5.7% stagger.

My own experience is that 4% works fine and 8% pisses off the computer.

I've seen some posts on CF that say the limit is 5%, but it's unclear whether the poster actually has experience or just heard that somewhere...

I recently went to staggered front and rear tire sizes ,5%, on my 94. After a few miles the check ABS and ASR lights would always come on. Changing the the ABS speed pickup reluctor wheels on the rear spindles from 47 to 50 teeth solved the problem.

Very interesting stuff. I had no idea you could change the relutor wheel like that.

That is about a 6% change, so the 5% change in wheel then means a 1% change by the computer, all is great!

Changing reluctor rings had not occurred to me.

I assume you had that made custom?

Nice car and wheels!

Revisiting this - I have a few hundred miles now with ~6.5% larger in rear. No problems.

Glad it's working out.

There are a ton of people doing wheel/tire swaps out there and Phil's example of having to change the ABS reluctor ring is the first I've heard of it.
