Hey All,

About a week ago, I purchased a brand new Kizashi (manual) as I wanted a new daily drive vehicle that was a lot of fun to drive...and wow this car is phenomenal! The handling is amazing and it feels plenty fast in the straight line (even though I haven't tested it yet since I'm still breaking it in). Well done Suzuki! :D

Does anyone know what is the maximum offset and rim width I can run without having to roll the fenders and without rubbing?

Also, does anyone have dyno graph of the 2.4L engine? (Just curious to see the curves)

Thanks :)

According to road race power at the wheels without boost ~130hp and 140 ft/lb torque.

I think those numbers a little on the low side, but it might be possible. 50+ hp loss is around double the expected drivetrain loss.

So there are probably two things that happened. Suzuki may have lied about the 185hp, and road//race probably already tuned the engine to run with the turbo so not having it probably killed the power when the car didn't have the boost it was expecting.

my 2 cents

Hmm yeah 130hp seems a bit on the low side. Usual drive-train losses are around 15% with engines of this size so it should be making a bit over 150hp at the wheels (especially if its FWD). It definitely feels it's making more than 130hp at the wheels though...
