Has anyone had any experience fitting 18x10.5 20p on the rear of their 4wd (non-hicas) Stageas? I currently have 18x9.5 25p all round and they fit nicely, but I really want the aggressive profile of the 10.5 for the rears. My 4wd system is physically disengaged so a stagger set up isn’t a problem for my stagea at this time. 
I’ve got Bc golds coilovers & would camber arms help with the fitment?

I don't have direct experience with that. I can say on my HICAS stagea that stock R34 GTR wheels (18x9 +30) stick out about 10mm so your 18x9+25 must be very flush or already sticking out a little. They do tuck into the guards under load if that is your concern without extra camber required.

Unless I can't use calculators, 18x10.5 +20 will sit 20mm further out than current, so you are going to need hilux flares unless you are going for the pokie outie look. No idea how the inner clearance is, seems like it would be OK (14mm less than your current, so you could get under and check)

I used will it fit website like the reply below shows, it’s about 1.77 cm out more but look at my car at the moment, I think it may work the car still has a bit lower to go as it’s not wheel to fenders yet, guards also untouched.

Depends on how much camber & stretch etc you're happy with but I'd say be a bit much, as Duncan says will probably poke about 17mm more than what you have now so up to you if that's what you want, camber arms will help in terms of giving it enough camber to get he top of the tyre under, that much camber isn't road legal in some places

I'd say the 9.5 +25 is pretty max already

Not to mention stupid on a road car, and leading to no longitudinal grip (from running only on the inside edge of the tyre) and only getting lateral grip when literally driving at 10/10ths so as to roll up onto the full tyre face in corners.

Can't see it having less than about 5 degrees of camber so as a daily road car will murder the inside edge so be flipping or replacing the tyres pretty regularly, & no grip really anywhere, hopefully not going high enough speeds at 10/10ths on the road to roll up that much camber.

    • If you are genuinely considering trying to get this engineered, I would strongly advise finding the engineer that is happy to sign that off first before you put the hole in your car.  I've seen cars get defected for this and not be able to be put back on the road as no engineer they spoke to was happy to sign if off.  
    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
