hi guys, these are 18x9.5 +18 all round, rears have plenty of room still but fronts sit flush.

I think car should be obvious as to what it is. Lol

I'm gonna run 19x9.5 when I can afford to. Not sure of offset tho, I think rear should be slightly lower offset to the front.

I would do very bad things to own a set of 18x9.5" Regamasters.

I'm surprised how many people like these wheels, I'd never heard of them until my mate bought these. They do suit my car pretty well. Maybe I should offer him some coin...

i'm trying to sell my rims so i can get a set of these:

cheap knockoff's - yes, but i'll never be able to justify the cost of genuine LM's and nevvvvver in 19 inch.

these come in 19x9.5 +20, which should sit nice.

otherwise i'll just keep my axis hiro's 19x8.5 +28 and space them out, because they look rather weak.

question though, can i use a 20mm on the front and a 25mm on the back? or do they have to be the same all round to avoid upsetting the ATTESSA?

Never heard of them before, just googled them, not much of a fan really

can someone please tell me if these sizes 18x8.5 +32 18x9.5 +12 will fit my S1 auto? as i am hopeless when it comes to knowing what size will fit

Cheers

Assuming the 8.5's are front, and 9.5's are rear, I think they will fit (although front might hit on your shocks? Not sure on that) but it wont be worth it. Rears would need a bit of guardwork, lowness, and camber so that it didnt look mexican, and the front would be fairly sunken, wouldnt match the rears at all.

You would also need to run different size tyres front and rear to maintain the same rolling diameter between front and rear, so that the ATTESSA system doesnt chuck a tantrum.

Thanks,

Would you be able to tell me what would be the right offset and widths for s1, wanna get some bronze CR Kais

18x9 all round is a good size imo (although 9.5's can easily fit), but it really all depends on what look you are going for. I am running 18x9+18 all round on mine, with 235/40 tyres. The rears sit pretty nice, but the fronts need to come out a little bit, I am going to use 15 or 20mm spacers at the front, whenever i get around to it. The C34 front guards can take pretty low offset wheels compared to the rear, especially when everything is stock.

Remember, you can use different offset at the front and at the rear without a problem, it's only having different width wheels that messes the ATTESSA up. So you could go 18x9+15 rear, and 18x9 0 front if you wanted to. Just depends how aggressive you want to go.

This is how mine looks (still needs more low dry.gif)

If you don't run a spastic rim width stagger you could just do same size tyres all round too, I'm sure the difference in how a tyre seats on say a 9 and 10" rim wouldn't make enough difference in diameter to faze it.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread but which would you guys recommend for an S1 auto RS four;

17x9 +15 or 17x9 +20?

I don't want to modding guards. I just want to bolt the wheels on and enjoy.

thanks for your help!

I have 17x9 +30 but I think either of the above would be fine - depends on your suspension. The front track is narrower than the rear so I have 20mm spacesr on the front - 25mm would be ideal but 20mm is now the legal max for spacers here.

I bought some 18x9 +20 (215/45 tyres) and 18x10 +21 (235/45 tyres) wheels while I was in VIC picking the car up.

the rears should work out perfect w/o the use of camber arms, but they are a little close to the rear shock, it looks like it should clear by 5mm or so, but I'm hoping BC don't use a thicker shock case otherwise I might run into some issues.

Fronts aren't as aggressive as the rears, so I'll probably use a 10mm bolt on spacer to make it look even and have similar fitment all round.

The stagea you bought is a AWd RS4 right??

You will have big issues if you run those tyres. Need to be the same rolling diameter front to rear.

    • We have 2x Swifts and my plans for a Swift, unfortunately, do not extend to an intake and an exhaust. I've been having dirty thoughts about a 2.5L Suzi V6, AWD gearbag out of a suitable donor, rear floorpan graft to take the rear cradle from same, and either trumpets of evil or a small supercharger. If I'm going to make noise in a Swift, I want it to be anti-social, evil handling and rough. Probably need to be fully stripped inside, matt black paint, plastic windows, 7" wide wheels, big brakes, silly suspension, etc etc etc. I have no idea if any of the proposed driveline components could take the pain. But it would be a hoot finding out.
    • Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile
