Thanks Gary/Micah, that explains everything and is exactly what I wanted to know. Now I can seriously look for those new rims (and try to explain to the wife that the car will handle better and be 'safer' with 18's) cheers Andy

Yeah Stagecoach, thats what i'm talking about . Why? Why are there staggered offsets? Will it make the car handle weird with non-staggered offsets? Do I need to keep the staggered offsets with the new rims? Is this all too hard, and should i keep the factory rims? (my wife says she likes them, but i think this is just to stop me modifying the wagon) cheers

Had a search but couldn't find too much about the 260 (lots on the RS4) . So grabbed my tapemeasure and crawled around under the car. distance from rim to coilover on the back looks to be around 30-35mm. with 18x9 +30 on the rear a offset calculator puts the rim 35mm closer than stock. Is the rear susp/axel/diff significantly different to the RS4? Why would Autech-Nissan go to the trouble of making rims with +30(f) and +20® offsets? Is it for clearance or some handling advantage? Have seen a couple of 260's (on the net and in Hyper Rev) with R34 GTR wheels, but have no idea if they needed spacers, longer wheel studs etc. just want to get this right so i don't waste my hard earned on wheels that won't fit (esp if they're an odd size/offset that i cannot resell) cheers

after some new 18in rims for my 260. Sizing seems a bit tricky because of the weird offset of the factory rims. Does anyone have non-factory rims on a 260? What size/offset are they? are spacers required? I don't want to roll guards or change suspension components/geometry just to fit wheels. My best guess at the moment is that I should use 18x9 +20 all round with a 10mm spacer on the rear. I think this will fill out the guards but not foul on the coilovers. Are spacers safe to use, or should i be looking for a +10 offset (bit of a weird size) for the rear. cheers guys

sleepynight, let me know how you go with the width and offset for those new rays. I'd love a set too but the whole odd offset thing on the 260rs has me a bit spooked. I'd hate to spend thousands on a new sexy set of wheels and them not fit. andy

up you go

only four 260's? thought they were thin on the ground but thats amazing

just wondering how many 260RS owners are on this forum? also, does anyone know how big an intercooler will fit without cutting the standard 260 front bar or metal work? cheers

It had an oil and filter change every 5000k's. Recently replaced clutch master and slave cylinders.

I built this car to drift but never have, cause I couldn't bear to bend it. Paint is good (small stone chips and small scratch on front bar). I'm a newbie here, so sorry if I the post seems amaturish. Have to sell due to new baby and big dog. Sticking with the Nissans though. Got a Stagea instead.
