Stagea Wheel Dimensions?

[GTR260]

put some new wheels on the 260 today,decided i was getting bored with the 18x8.5 bbs wheels so replaced them with Rota Fighters supplied by option 1 garage, 18x9.5 +20. next step will be to fit some coilovers and adjustable arms.

sorry bout the iphone pics.

the new wheels

The old BBS

The service form O1G was excellent, They had some brand new genuine Dayz carbon inserts for around the ac vents there if anyone is looking for them!

had these fellas fitted Tuesday, Rota Grids 18x9.5 +20 in hyperblack have to say fitment is pretty much perfect! fitted with federal 595s, 245/40.

test fitted fronts today 18x9-2 225/40

Can't wait to get my s14 subframe in and guards rolled!

In terms of 'being legal' and meeting VSI, is fitting 245/40/18 on 18x8.5 on a s2 c34 auto okay?

Depends entirely on offset wheel poke and track change wise

Google tire size calculator or go to WWW.willtheyfit.com and chuck in your stock size

But probably yes but maybe a 235/40 will be closer

Thanks, Also found this http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/pdf/NCOP11_Section_LS_Tyres_Suspension_Steering_V2_1Jan_2011%20v3.pdf page 20+ refers to some legal fitment condtions.

Looks like i am good with my size. I just like to know sure for insurance purposes, incase they say, those tyres arnt legal, ur car isnt road worthy, no money for you.

Does that ever happen? Insurance claim denied because of unroadworthy vechile from mods like wheels?

Looking at upping tyre size on ours (along with a few other things), reckon 18x9 +20 with 265/35R18s will work under an S1 stag, without flaring? Can lip guards, happy to fit camber arms etc if need be.

[Zorro]

Floody Im running 18x9.5 +14 on my s1, with 255/35 going to 265/35 soon. I had to roll the crap out of my guards (mainly the rear though)! If that heaps you at all!

245/40 will be a great deal cheaper being factory fitment to falcodores with 18's

Another option is 245/45/18.

This is OEM VE Crummydore size, and not too expensive.

[Zorro]

Daleo, overall diameter would be a bit off on a c34 though.

[Daleo]

Yep, fair call. Got my M35 hat on.

works out about 5% bigger than a 235/45/17

[floody]

Have 235/40R18 now so 245s are barely worth changing to. I do suspect I would notice the increase in front end grip with 265s.

Thanks Zorro, sounds like it will be a pretty safe option as I should have 10mm or so more clearance to the guard.

[Zorro]

Yeah you will notice the extra grip for sure! Also watch the rear clearance from the coilover leg & platform, mine is really close!

[S T A R 3 3]

may sound like a stupid question, but will there be movement of the coilover itself and perch towards the tyre whilst driving?

New Stagea owner and looking for some info on wheels.

would this size fit on my 2001 RS4S?

18 x 9.5,  5 x 114.3, +20

yes if you have coilovers and cambers arms on rear and you might wanna look into getting longer rear wheel studs...

[pipster11]

Yeah should be pretty good

I think the flush figment for an Rs4s is 9.5 +12 so you wouldn't be far off there

Go back a few pages to see some examples as there were some recently

It will be the same figment as an 260rs too I think

How would these go on my 2000 rs stagea?
