Stagea Wheel Dimensions?


Recommended Posts

If anyones wondering what 18" white Advanti Samurai's look like here you go. They are 18x9 +35 and 235/40R18 tyres. Minor stretch. I dont really like stretch but it was necessary as you will see when you scroll down. The bottom of the coil over adjuster nuts were rubbing on the rear tyres. Fortunately I just needed to raise the coilovers about 10mm. Its still pretty low though. If they had +30 offset I wouldve got that but anymore poke is just ricey IMO. Running 18x10 with 20 offset is not for me! haha. For the record this rim/offset is fine with TEIN coilovers set to a reasonable height.

For you guys still confused (and fair enough), this site helped me heaps, and kinda renders this thread useless, if it werent for the sweet stagea pics lol.

Just find out your current width and offset (should be on the rim, inside), check the clearance on the inside (suspension) and outside (guards) of your current wheel, and enter the specs of your new wheel.

You can see if I went with 255's it wouldnt have fitted.

Righto, I've been looking and reading and looking and calculating some more and I've settled on 18x9.5 +15 with 265/35s all round on an S2 C34 RS4S.

It's running Bilsteins and it's got a fair bit of low installed but by my calcs they'll fit properly, without having to resort to crap camber to make them clear the struts.

Can anyone spot anything I might be missing?

You are legendary. Going by those pics they'll fit, although the clearance between the inner tyre and strut will be a bee's dick. Worst case I have some 5mm spacers to give a tad more clearance. Not ideal, but the car is just a cruiser so no biggie.

Cowboy1600, here's some more detailed pics, also a S2 C34 RS4S with 18x9.5 +15 but with 235/40's. Center of rim to the guard is about 340~345mm.

What happens when you throw it into a corner? You can get the same fitment and the same rubber on the road with 18 x 8in and 235 tyres:

It's not the fitment I'm concerned about, more the rubber. It's at 230rwkw now and the 235s on it now struggle. Once I decide on a new intercooler and get it back to Trent for a tune it should be north of 300 and 235s will not stand a chance.

I've converted to RWD so need 265s to tame the rear.

Sure - my comments were more directed at Jase with his big wheels and small tyres.

You just need to get your wheels away from the suspension and then take to the guards with a big hammer!

I know my set up is far from ideal, i will admit that. When i bought the stagea it had 18x8 with 235/40 tyres and 18x9 265/35 tyres with 20mm spacers front and rear. I dislike spacers and i was having issues with the 4wd because of the mismatched tyres.
The cst's popped up at a price i couldn't refuse and made them fit.

It handles just fine, i cant notice the difference the two set of rims it had.

OK, ended up with 18x8.5 +15 fronts with 235 40s and 18x9.5 +32 on the rear running 265 35s.

Fit is perfect. I had them roll the guards while I was there for a bit of extra room. It is rubbing somewhere but I I'm not sure where yet.

It's looks perfect!

What are they?

Black always looks great against the yellow.

Will a set of 18x9 +35 fit an s2 stagea rs four s?

Nope.

I've run into a problem with mine (18x9.5 +32)

They hit the strut on the inner lip going over bumps. I'mm going to run 10mm slip on hub centric spacers with longer wheel studs to get around the issue.

For 9.5s you want minimum of +22 i've decided, based on my experience. So 9s give you about 6mm extra clearance,, so you'd want max of ~+28 offset.

Thanks! Now am looking at a set of Varrstoens, same 9.5 width, and come in 12 and 22 offsets. Any ideas which would be best? thinking 12 on front and 22 on rear?

9.5+12 will stick out a mile on the front, where a 9.5+22 will fit under with a 245 wide tyre with some minor guard rolling.

A 9.5+12 would probably be just about spot on for the rear; might still want the lips rolled lightly. Even the +22 looks bloody good, and having all four the same offset means you can rotate wheels easily.

I've got 18x8.5 +19 on the front with 245s and they fit beautifully. We test fitted 9.5 +15s on the rear and they stuck out too far. +22s are spot on for the rear IMO (On a C34 rs4s). Will need guards rolled if the car has a decent amount of low installed though.

Will a set of 18x9 +35 fit an s2 stagea rs four s?

definetely not.

i got r33 gtr wheels (I know its 17x9 +30 but extra inch in the wheel would make mine much worse) on mine but the rears scrapped massively, got 15mm bolt on spacers but still scraps over bumps. I would need atleast another 5mm to clear struts over bumps. mine is lowered so if its higher or has adjustable camber arms could probably get them further away from the struts.

as for the fronts i have plenty of room no issues with the +30 but i would again go further down towards a +20-25 atleast.

Okay. just found out that my shop can get rotiforms in, and for wicked employee deals, so I am going to get a custom set of these made up. Going to stick with 8.5 wide to make choosing an offset a little more forgiving. I seen earlier in the thread someone said s2 rs4s should be good with +6 all around. Thoughts? Not opposed to guard rolling at all, would just like to be able to do without spacers.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
