ok guys, this is a killer for me. im trying to fins some rims that fit the rears of my RS4S, since the stock r34gtt rims wont fit without 20mm spacers, and the r32gtr rims have the same story.

one is 7.5 +38 for the gtt rims and the 32gtr are 8 with +30 offset.

i found some nice rims im trying to get which are 17x9, and im wondering what the best offset for the rears will be

i can get them from -25 to +15 in 5mm intervals.

is -25 too much?

when i ran the r34gtt rims with my 30mm spacer, i still had another 3cm to fill in the guards on the outside of the rim.

at the moment im just in need for some rear rims.

Don't they need to be the same all around to make sure all four wheels have the same rolling diameter? In answer to your question I think you'd be after about +15. Mine (pics above) are 18x9.5 +15

i have same rolling diameter all round, 17" gtt fronts and rears but want to replace the rears so i dont need to use the spacers.

im going to opt for deep dish steelies 17x9 i just need to know the best offset.

as 16x8 +30 doesnt fit and 17x7.5 +38 didnt fit.

i did try 17x8 with a +0 and that filled the guards very well

just thought that 8j is too thin for my liking plus they were only lend rims.

so yours is a rs4s?

ok quick question, quite urgent, i have a RS4 auto, sitting at 340mm, wondering wats the best size rims to go, widest offset possible. with a 18x9/9.5 rim. so +30 the best or will a +10/15 fit? need to fit both front and rears. thanks

nah, dont care for the front of yet, just trying to sort out the ass. im having heaps of trouble finding decent offset rims, so im getting custom steelies made :D

What's the cost on those?

if i have the centre piece its 150 per rim. but found a set of 17x9 +5 so i might buy them.

i hope my calculations were correct. i ran 17x9+38 on the rear, with 35mm spacers, so they technically were 17x9 +3?

they had a perfect offset

Hmmmm, might have to get new others for my watanabe wheels :-) and put my 17x8's on the front and make the 7's into 9's (stagea is going so the r31 will probably see a bit if love)

Looks awesome, what brand of rim are they? what size tyre and did you need coiovers to fit them at rear?, all he rims i have been looking at are 17,18 x9 +28

cheers

darren

they are work emotion CR KAI's, been lowered to 340mm, with camber. just misses rear guard by mm when bounced (without folding over lip), nd have about 3 cm still to go before hits strut. coilovers help. nd running a 245/45 tyre on it. thats when using the Auto wider rear cradle.

Edited by import_zone

been looking through this thread for ages and still not sure if the wheels I'm looking at will fit.

wheels I'm looking at are 18 x 9.5 + 20 and going onto a s2 rs4v (auto)

from what i can find the fronts should be alright with rolled guards

anyone know how the rear will be with the wider rear track of the auto?

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
