I know 19x9 is fine, just not sure about the offset.

Thanks!

Dammit! I thought they would fill the guards nicely. I assume that means the offset is too much?

+38 is gtst offset..

They will sit 32mm further out than say 33gtst rims (16x6.5 +38) would and 21mm further out than 34GTT rims (17x7.5 +40) would.

And 30mm further out than 32GTR rims (16x8 +20?).

* Figures have been rounded, I don't care about .25 of a mm

So they should fill the guards more than the 17x7 +30 rims that are on there?

+38 is too high for a 9" wide IMO. id go a +28 / +30 or so. i pulled 17x8 +42 off my RS4S because they were clearly fouling the struts in the rear

i had wondered if it would be too high. The guys selling the wheels said it would fit (via email, not looking at the car), but I thought I would ask here as I thought people would know more!

You want +22 or at least +30. Be aware that the awd has a narrower front track and I have 20mm spacers at the front to make them more or less the same as the rear. It may be different for the rwd ( I have 17 x 9in)

Mine is the awd RS4S that has the 17x7s standard with +30 offset, so if I'm going to go for a wider wheel eg 8, 8.5 or 9, I should be looking for something with the same offset or lower?

[KiwiRS4T]

If you have +30 now and get 2in wider wheels with the same offset then they will stick out 25mm more. If you get them with +22 offset then that's another 8mm = 33mm more. Don't know if 19in rims will still fit (please don't tell me you are going to put undersized tyres on them to make them fit!). I think 17in is ideal but 18s can look OK. I like the design of the wheel you were looking at.

A guy had those on his stagea a year ago, his where 19x9.5 not sure of the offset tho.Try typing in- Fs:97' Series 1.5 Nissan Stagea in the Tasmanian section and it should bring up some pictures. You could even try and get in contact with him.If I remember correctly they stuck to far out of the guard and I don't think he was to happy with the offset

I was only planning on getting 18s I've seen a few guys in one of the stagea wheel threads with 19s which looked really good without having ridiculously thin tyres, so that's when I started thinking 19s.

Might go back to looking at 18s. I love the look of these rims, they were pretty much exactly what I was looking for, but they only come in set offsets so it doesn't look like they'll work. Any other suggestions are appreciated!

Cool, thanks, I'll go have a look

@ KIWIRS4T - series 2 RS4-S 's have the same track front and rear where as the autos have wider rear track.

i put 18z on mine about 2 months back, they are a tiny bit too small for my liking but have a baby on the way and dont wana comprimise ride too much. mine are 18x8" ET +34 they clear everything (and have brembo clearance for future brake upgrade) but arent quite flush with the body (they sit in alittle bit) but if i slamm it down the track they will tuck in the guards with plenty of clearance. id go for 19z if you can otherwise 18z for sure. without going for the "stance is everything" look with wheels 2 inches out the guards and a 215 tyre stretched on to a 9.5 wide rim then i would aim for a +28 or 30 in an 8' to 9" wide

Awsome, thanks for that. I might go back to the search I think, just need to find something with the right offset in the style i like.
