Stagea Offsets

[canarygsr]

hey guys, couldnt seem to find it quickly, but what wheels sezes and offsets are most people running on there stageas.. r they the same as R33? and even better if somone can answer this one quickly, would 18x9.5 with a +22 fit?

Assuming you know what you're getting yourself into, yes they should fit. You will need to roll your guards at a minimum I suspect, of course depending on what sort of height/camber/tyres you are running.

and just for the record - GTR offset rims are a no-go on Stageas?

I"ve been looking at my Work rims and comparing the offset to other rims on Yahoo Japan (TE37's)

ok ill start with what i have found when test fitting some different rims... this is my opinion only, dont blame me if im wrong

on the front i could fit a 9.5' rim +40 (it was sticking in the gaurd alot and im sure u could go a 9.5" or +30). The +40 was really close to the suspension on the inside of the rim but choosing the +30 offset or whatever will be much better on both accounts

9.5" + 40 on the rear was touching the coilover only just and i could probably get a +35 on the rear if u make it run heaps of negative camber (2 camber kits), tyre wear wont be your friend though

on the rear i would personally go 9" wide only and a +30 offset (same as r34 gtr rims) and that is perfect with some camber to tuck it under the gaurds, on the front u can run 9" + 20 or +25 easy with abit of camber.

r34 gtr rims fit great on the rear, u just need a 10mm spacer or more on the fronts and it works out good (r34 gtr rims are 9' x +30)

these fitments mentioned are with plenty of rear camber to tuck them under the gaurds so dont expect stock camber with these rear offsets to clear the rear gaurds.

hope its some sort of help, but please try a test fit if u can to see for sure.

p.s. To answer the question i think u have no hope of fitting a 9.5' +22 under the rear gaurds without them sticking out about 13-15mm at least and thats with alot of negative camber

You'll fit those sizes easily on the front and rears. You will not only have more inner clearance than me but your wheels will also not stick out as much.

The fronts will look very sunken though (in my opinion)

I run 18x9.5 +1 fronts and 18x10 +20 rears. Front camber is 1 degree, rear is 1.5 degree. Rear guards have a lip (just the inside lip bend up). For these camber levels you probably wont need after market adjustment as when the car is lowered to suit the wheels, they will naturally camber in. Camber kits are often installed to remove camber.

Go for it IMO

hey Alex love the wheels mate, i think u have pushed the limit of offset on the rear though haha.

how far do u reckon the rim is sticking out from the gaurd on the rears?

and how far do the fronts stick out with the 25mm spacer on?

i would love some aggresive offsets but dont want them sticking out the gaurds more than 5mm max.

i did go test fit those rims and they came out looking pretty much the same as urs, looks mad, but just not the look im after... thanks for every1's imput, realy helped and should keep helping every1

The fronts, maybe 15mm

The rears, 10mm or so.

It really depends on how you measure it too. I mean, my lip sits on my guard when I have enough weight in the back, but then, if you measure "sticking out" from the top of the wheel then it would be sticking out 0mm, but thats with about 2 degrees negative camber.

The best bet for anyone is test fit before you buy, if the wheels hard tyres. If they don't, find something similar and see if you like the fitments.

I am more of the attitude "get the wheels fit, make the car fit them second". However, my guards are full stock, only a lipping of the rears was needed.

Each to their own, its understandable.
