Darrin,

ill be putting a deposit on a 260 RS tomorrow morning :P

thanks for the details, sounds like you know your stuff!!!

guessing that stag in you pic is yours, are those front guards wider than the stag ones? how well do the wheels sit on yours?

and the wheels are face 1 19 x 9.5" +21

Edited by thrashworks

looking at a set of works - 19x10 +20 any idea if these will fit on a 260RS?

its got coilovers (not sure what brand as i haven't got the car yet, just put a deposit on it)...

white 260RS with fat black wheels with dish? :D and would make girls be all like :)

just bought my stagea last week, it had 17x8" all around (RS4 manual so no auto rear stick out) that sat way too far in and were missing centre caps, i just got some new speedy cobolts in black and in 18x8" with a et+35 offset after 4 days. soooo much better. i found out once i pulled the old rims off that they were fouling the rear struts and were 17x8 et+42 which is WAY too high. id say +35 is the highest offset i would run on a stagea. i could tuck these new rims very easily too. my guess it for a 8 - 8.5" wide rim et+28 would be perfectly flush with the body of the car. was guna go bigger but have a baby on the way so i want some comfort still.

G'day all,

2000 Stagea RS-V

19 x 8.5 Koya Vizzo Rims +35

235/40/19 Kuhmo

Tein S-Tech Springs

KYB shocks all round

Comment: Falcoon offset! Should have gone 245's. Needs maybe 10-15mm spacer on front, not overly phased about it though . No scrapes - easy clearance.

Regards,

Mike

thanks Dave.J for the photos.

I've had a look through this, but still am not 100% sure. Will I be able to run 19x9.5 rims on an RS4S with stock suspension? What offset would I need? What sort/size tyres would people recommend?

These are the rims I'm looking at post-76194-0-72527900-1292399278_thumb.jpg

Hi guys,

I know I'm digging up an old thread, but I'm looking to get some Enkei RPF1's in 18x9.5 +15 for my RS4S, which from what I have read in this topic should fit. But the guy I am looking at buying them through spoke to Enkei and was told that they had fitted them in a +30 offset, but wouldn't guarantee +15 would fit. I thought +30 would be too high? Any clarification would be awesome! Also, if anyone knows if these rims will fit Brembos or other big brakes underneath that would be great to know too.

Thanks

Tim

9.5 width with a +30 offtset WILL NOT clear the rear strut / coilovers on an RS4-S

+15 would be good but its going to be hella flush. depends on if you one of the "i hate wheels sticking out the guards" kinda people

even better, get a +15 for the rear and a 30+ for the front.

i just put a 15mm bolt on spcaer on the rear of my rs4s and now it sits just as flush as the front wheel

Just went and double checked the spec sheet, it's either 18x9 + 35, 18x9.5 +15 or 18x9.5 +38, there is no 18x9.5 +30 unfortunately. I want to try and avoid running spacers if at all possible.

hey guys.. wondering if 19x8 +35 will fit my 1999 RS4-S Stagea (Manual and hicas)?

Ive tried the wheel calculator, but i get different results all the time.. Ive yet to get my head around it all..

cheers!

Tried taking spacers off my RS4S (manual), they were a dealer fitted bonus I didnt want.

V35 skyline rims on the rears are 17x8 +33 and rub on my coilovers with 235/50.

But with a bolt on 27mm spacer are perfect for guard clearance..

How the hell do I pass inspection for WA licensing next monday?

Finally got the stag some new shoes... was sick of the R34 GTT 17's with their weak offsets!! (it also didnt help running 35 series tyres...)

Anyway they are 18x9.5 +22... Lowered on BC's with a bit of rear camber got them to clear the guards and have about 20mm from the strut!

Pics arent the best but you get the idea!

Rota DPT's look nice!, what size tyre?

I was thinking about rota boosts in 18x9 +27, will i have any fitment issues without coilovers? S.2 automatic

Should be be pretty flush with the guards as its within 3mm of a R34 GTR rim, what size tyres are people running with R34 GTR rims?

cheers

A 245/40 /18 or 245/45/18 will have a virtually straight sidewall to a very slight amount of stretch, but will be just about spot on. I'm pretty sure 265/40 is factory fitment on a GTR 18" isn't it?

    • 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?
