as per PM reply brendan, you'll have alot of trouble making them fit (particularly since i get the feeling you want to put them on the front - talking about clearing big brakes)

if you are set on te37's get some 18x9.5+12's all round but be prepared to pay a mint as your pm suggests you want brand new ones

thanks for that info mate

probably go for 18x8.5" +35 as per attached

will put big brake kit on track car project with bolton spacers & stag rear calipers

and throw the r32 gtr calipers allround (with new track pads) onto the stagea

Hi guys,

I'm New on the Board and i am really happy for so much stagea Fans!

I'm from Germany and i have an 260RS. In next time i will tell more about from my Person and the stagea!

I have two fast questions about the rims at the stagea. Is it possible to have an 8.5x18 et36 and 10x18 et37 rims without Problems? Know how Annone? Second, i have four 245/40 tires for this rims, is it ok to drive that on a 10J?? I really happy for your answers and tips.

Hi and welcome!

You HAVE to keep the same rolling diameters between the front and rear. If you run the same tyres on different sized rims, it will not work. The rolling diameters will be different because of the stretching of the rear tyres to fit over the 10" rims.

You should try and find a set of wheels and tyres that are the same size and width front and rear, or you will have BIG and expensive problems with the transfer box after you drive it for a while.

Helo Guys,

just to confirm this.

18x9 +20 5/114.3 fitted with 245/40R18 will fit onto the 260rs? Cos i read somewhere in this thread that i wll need spacers and longer wheel nut for the rear rims.

thanks peps.

I'm not sure if they will fit without hitting on the strut, if they do fit then they will be sunken inside the guards heaps.

Also, for an RS4 due to the ATTESSA system you would be better off running the same width front and back, unless you work out the tyre sizes so you can maintain the same front and back rolling diameter.

G'day All,

Nice thread, heaps of info on offset for manuals, just a little about offset for autos though?

My Partner is in the process of buying herself a completely stock std S2 RSFourV Tiptronic Stag.

Stag to be lowered on Tein Wagon S-Tech Coils - Then She wants some nice rims!

Short of me trying my R33 GTR and AU Falcoon rims (when we get it home), can some smart person suggest the best offset for 18 x 8.5-9 rims all round - considering from what I have read the auto has a wider rear end in it compared to manual.

Advanced thanks for your time and info,

Cheers Mike.

Hi is anyone running 19x9.5 +12 on a rs four s without rolling the guards or is this to aggressive! Sorry if this has been covered! Thanks in advance for any help

That is exactly what I run. No guard rolling. 245/35/19 tyres with acceptable rear camber. 330mm ride height

Thanks your is exactly how id like mine to sit! Is there any more room under the front guards with the 34 front compared to standard??

rims :- RAYS LM GT4

size :- 19 x 9.5 +30 offset

tyres :- Dunlop Maxx SP

size :- 19x35x245

fits a lowered m35 without rolling the gaurds thus far.

Thats mad. Look at those things! More photos please!!! I'm glad you didn't give up or listen to the "mechanics..."

:P

edit- found pics! NICE :yes:

ok, ive tried figuring this out for myself here...

would 19x9.5+15 fit a stagea?

or +22? (theres a sick set of Rays GT-C's on a website that i've got my eye on)

and whats the deal with the 260RS? rear offset is different to the front yes?

if those offsets are wrong could someone tell me what offset i'd need to run 19x9.5's (or 10's if possible...)

thanks Brendan.

What model C34 do you have?

Auto?

manual?

260Rs with Brembo's?

That will determine what fits

When looking at Rays wheels against width and offset there is a couple of things to consider

Depending what on the offset on a certain size will deteremine what the caliper clearance is as referred to by Rays as disk type A, B or C

If you check out the Rays site, find the wheel you want, pick a size and compare it to the charts. If you need a "A" disk clearance, the offsets are different when compered to a B or C disk

Example

I run Rays's GT-C's Face 2 in a 19x9.5 +12, manual rear end.

Check the charts and you will see they are a "B" disk with 86mm outer rim (dish) Only just clear (1-2mm) r34 GTT 310mm dia brakes.

If I went to 19x9.5 +11, only 1mm different in offset, but they are a A disk (fit over brembo's) but with a 73mm out rim (so less dish)

Hope this helps.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
