Another Wheel Fitment Question

Recommended Posts

Sorry for starting another wheel fitment topic, i Know R34 GTR rims fit easy @ 18x9 +30 and most people agree that 18x9 +20 with minor guard rolling will fit OK.

Now my question...

Will 18x10+ 20 fit on a Series 2 260RS?? Lowered and camber arms rear.

i havnt got the car yet so cannot try them on, but have come across these rims, They have 265's on them which i dont think will fit. im thinking 245's max.

Im not worried about rolling guards or stretch or the wheels sticking out, infact i want that. I love a good wheel fitment :blink: Just wana know if they will fit inside the guards without rubbing on the strut or sticking out a mile. I know they will sit aprrox 15mm further in then the GTR rims and 25mm further out??

help guys??

OK, I'm confused, 15 + 25 = 40 mm and increasing the width from 9" to 10" is only 25.4 mm.

From memory, 10" @+20 mm (compared to 9" @+30 mm) is 2.7 mm further out and 22.7 mm further in. I don't think the 2.7 mm further out is going to be a problem. But 22.7 mm further in will be, due to the shockshaft on the rear.

Cheers

um...check the fitment thread

i havea pciture of my car with a 18x10 +20 on the rear

with a big roll, it still poked, and rubbd the shock on hard hard turns, or if i had a load in teh back

while it looks cool, i dont reccomend it.

i went 9.5 +3 all around

hey Neil from my understanding the autech has alot different wheel fitment on the rear to the normal rs4 so i wouldnt judge info from fitment on a rs4 it wont be the same, the autech allows for more aggresive offsets but unfortunately i dont have one myself so i cant help with specific fitment.

Neil i feel your pain brother... crrently trying to find wheels that fit MY 260, being that you need to run different offsets but same widths front and rear. Im looking at a set of wheelsthat a friend has on his R32 GTS4. They are a 20x9 wth diffrerent offsets front and rear to suit the GTS4 setup which seems to be akin to the 260.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
