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.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
