after having a long read through this very informative discussion i decided i would seek the help of this group to help me decide a fitment as i want to get it right as i need to order wheels.

1999 S2 260RS wheel fittment.

size 20x8.5 or 9.0 ?

offset i need help with any sugesstions ? i can order the wheels in any offset i want but i want a fairly even flush look that wont scrub

tyres size 245/30/20

does anyone have a set similar to the above please comment also about how they look.

thanks

I run 19x9.5 +12 with 245/35/19

Go at least 9 inch wide, not 8.5

No rear guard rolling needed. It is tight with 5mm clearance to rear guard and 10mm to rear shocks with 245's

Make sure rims are "A" type at front to clear brembo's.

Type A or Disk A refers to the caliper clearance.

I do not think it is a industry standard, but most Jap brand wheels quote it

Rule of thumb is A suit big calipers like Brembo, B type will suit GTST calipers and Type C will normally only work on the rear with small calipers

It also depends on the shape of the spoke.

I run 19x9.5 + 12 in a type B front and rear and have r34 GTT calipers. My rims only have 1-2mm clearance to calipers. I would not fit brembo's

If they were type A there would be approx 10mm clearance to the calipers. The Type A will also effect the amount of dish/outer rim you see.

Type B will have more dish/outer rim

The main thing to remember is, rim width and offset are not the only thing to consider. Make sure to consider the caliper clearance as well esp on a 260RS

What wheels are you considering buying?

Also find yourself on online wheel calculator

That way you can put in either your stock wheel sizes or mine and compare to the ones you want to buy

The calculator will tell you the increase or decrease of both the inner and outer dimension changes

try this one

Can anyone shed some information and tell me if something like this will fit on a RS4-V auto.

Many thanks

Joe

Sorry, yeah she is an auto.....

I shall start looking at my options then. Around $4k to spend including rubber.

If you have 4 k to spend you should look at getting your rims via Jesse Streeter. I got him to order some Work xsa for me, they custom make them to order at the sizes you want. Mine in 18" cost under $2200 delivered and they are a 2 piece wheel. Then just over 1k for a set of kumho ku31's. O ly problem is waiting near 12 weeks for the wheels but worth it IMO.

no problems running staggered as long as the tyres are EXACTLY the same

offsets sound a tad ghey

i think for rs4s use r33 gtr specs

something like 18x9+12 or 18x9.5+15

www.willtheyfit.com, measure up your current clearances (plumb bob and ruler to see how much inside the guards they are now) chuck in your current wheel specs and play around with offsets till you get something you like

Fitted these up last night.

After initial dry fitup concerns they fit sweet, thanks darrinspencer and everyone else for convincing me 19*9.5 +12 will fit a manual.

Its still quite high, but being my daily I dont want to increase camber just for the low yet and kill my tyre life.

My phone camera (and my location choice) is sucking at taking photos of black rims with any detail...

what kit is that?

what kit is that?

Its all as I got it so I'm not 100%.

I assume the car was originally a Dayz edition as the rear lip and spolier is as per dayz.

The front bar and skirts are series 2 RS260 as far as I know.

My wife calls it the underbite.

I run 19x9.5+12 all round with a 25mm spacers on rear and 245/35/19 rubber heaps of clearance with camber and rolled guards, I could go up to a 255 with out issues but a 265 would propably scrub the suspension.

Or

18x9+30 all round with 25mm spacers with and 265/35/18 these only just clear the suspension on the rear but have heaps of clearance on the front.

PS the ride with 19s is shit house, I can only imagine 20s would be crap.

19inch Volk GTC's in silver.

pcd 114.3

Front 19x8.5 + 30 face 2

Rears 19x9.5 + 24 face 2

do you guys think these will fit 260RS ? providing same size tyres are fitted

just a few pix of my wheel fitment on the Stagea 260RS

Tyres are 235x40x18

rear wheels 18x10 +13

front wheels 18x9.5 +24

im considering selling these wheels also so if you know anyone let me know.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
