18x10.5" +22

thanks

[M I K E]

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

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.

Hi,

Thanks so much! That's the answers what i need.

Also 19" are not the Best for drive the 260RS right??

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.

Hey there just a quick question about my new wagon. I've just bought a '96 Stagea RS4 and wondering if Work VS 3 piece wheels 17x8 and 17x9 with +47 offset front and rear. Also it says Dayz on the back and wondering what that means?

[180fan]

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.

[M I K E]

roughly a 9+20~30 in the rear and a 9+0~10 up front for nice filled guard fitment

or just get some 9+30's all round. GTR wheels fit wheel just fill the rear guards more than the front

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

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.
