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?

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
