After advice on these sizes for S2 C34 auto.

18x8+30 fronts - (99% sure they are a good fit)

18x8.5+33 rears - this is my concern, not worried about atessa problems - will match circumference.

Cheers

Why is it that everyone keeps asking about using different sizes front and rear. It is almost impossible to match sizes 100%. Offsets don't matter only widths. I don't fully understand why you would want different sizes front/rear on a 4wd car.

As far as I remember it is as follows -

Rs4s = same offset front and rear eg.... 18x8 +6 all round.

Rs4/rs4s = staggered offsets eg.... 18x8 +30 rear and 18x8 +6 front.

staggered widths are actually ok, SO LONG AS YOU RUN THE SAME SIZED TYRE

that should get ppls attention, not having a go at you tho steven

all you will do by running different wheel widths with the same tyre is have a bit more stretch in the rear

Lol. I know what you mean, I was just trying to try to point out where the problem lies. If I knew back them what I know now I wouldn't have my retarded rims. I could have just bought any rwd offset rims and been happy, I don't like having 25mm spacers on the front.

Your rears should fit pretty good but you will need spacers for the front. That's where I went wrong. I've got a 18x8 +35 front with a 25mm spacer.

I'm running r34 Gtr wheels 18x9 +30 with 245/40 without spacers the wheels scrub the bilstein suspension with a 3mil spacer it still touches so now ive gone with a 25mm bolt on the rear now it's scrubing the guard so I went to a bolt on 20mm and original wheel stud hit on the rim argh I can't win looks it will be rolling the guard time!

Will be sunk as f#ck in the front. I have S1 auto (thought all the auto awd cradles are the same though?) 18x9" +20 and 235/40R18s, doesn't rub anything anywhere. Rear same sizes, does touch un-lipped guard (on extremes of compression) but will clear by miles with a guard roll.

IMO you'd be better off with the 18x8.5 +33 all round out of the sizes you suggest.

do u have a RS4S or RS4V? as most people that run GTR wheels dont usually have many problems. i am running a 17x9 +28 nd got about 5-10mm spare to the coilovers. have u thought about trying nismo wheel studs with around a 15mm spacer or something?

Yeh tell me bout it!its an RS4S yeh we were thinking about getting longer wheel studs but it's all work lol I know it's not that hard but it's still a hassle.

Thanks so much for your reply :thanks:

Offset?

If you are getting bigger brakes, don't bother with these. You will never fit them over the larger calipers.

Stock RS wheels are 17x7 so these will easily fit if the offset is satisfactory.

One last thing. Try to keep the wheels and tyres the same size all round.

I know the Z33's and V35's of the world generally have wider rear tyres, but that is because they are RWD cars.

FRONT

Size: 17x7.5Offset: +30mmWeight: 23.26lbsTire: 225/50/17BackSize: 17x8.0Offset: +33mmWeight: 24.14lbsTire: 235/50/17

These are the offsets for these 350z wheels I have found another pair in black

can any one tell us if they will be good for M35 stagea maybe the back pair is better than front for our car?

Any help would be great .Also shouldn't they fit Brembro brakes in stag as the 350z had them installed ?

Edited by bazr

hate to revive an old thread but the question seems a better fit here than other or a new thread:

will wheels off a 350Z fit an M35 stagea?

while I'd like to go to 18's these are for sale and look great:

Fronts 17 x 7 1\2 inch

Rears 17 x 8 inch

Comes with Set of Bridgestone Potenzas - Not Fitted

225 45 R17 x 4 70 - 80% Tread

Size: 17x7.5Offset: +30mmWeight: 23.26lbsTire: 225/50/17BackSize: 17x8.0Offset: +33mmWeight: 24.14lbsTire: 235/50/17

Any good? Front or back pair better for m35?

Rears are a better size.

However, Your much better off with a set of square 350z 18 inch Track rims. They come up for sale fairly regularly, and are not that expensive. The V35 version has the same sizes, but a different design. 17s are just too small. Get at least some 18s and higher profile tyres to suit. These wheels are great if your on a budget.

18x8 +30

Got them fitted last night, they are 350Z 18s - no problems with atessa, rear may need to be rolled just to be on the safe side.

Hi everyone,

Just wanting some help if possible. I have been a long time reader on here but have only just signed up as I really would like to know if a particular rim would fit my RS4 Stagea........ Can someone tell me if the rims in the link will fit my car? Better make sure they will fit before I click the 'buy it now' etc. Thanks in advance :)

I actually wanted the Nismo LMGT4s but I have been told they won't fit??

You typed rs4 so I'm going to assume auto, they will fit the rear but I would recommend spacers on the front to correct the 20mm offset difference.

I don't think they will fill your guards that well but I'm pretty sure they will fit.

MissDayz - I recommend going at least an 8 inch width. I had 18x7.5 with +42 offset and they were under the recommended track width (measuremen from wheel to wheel across the car). This pic shows how far in the arch they sit.

post-72216-0-22958600-1334882567_thumb.jpg

Oh, I dont think they will be right for me then as I would prefer to fill the guards out and will be getting cool overs etc.

Any suggestions for rims? I would ideally like to get Nismo rims.... Anyone know of a Nismo rim to suit?

Problem is I don't really want to do too many mods and stuffing around..... Trying to just find rims that will fit best.

Thanks for the replies do far, really appreciate the help.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
