I know there has been heaps about this stuff...and I did search...from the info I read it seems 18x9 wheels with a +20 offset will fit as long as the car is not to low (mine is standard height).

I would like to know if any one is running this size.

cheers

I'm running 17x9.5" +23 all 'round on my S2. the front is flush with the guards,the rear sticks out by about 20mm from std guards,so mine have been flared,and I've put some cheap mudflaps on the rear bar to hide them some.

my car is lowered about 2-2 1/2" from stock on tein gt wagon coilovers.

Hi there, made a note of mine last time I had them wheels off, I have 18x8 +30 front, 18x9 +32 + 3mm spacers rear. Don't ask me why, they where on the car when I got it. Ride height is 370mm front, 360mm rear. Tyres are 235/40 Maxxis. Body panels are standard, wheel alignment is as per SK's specs in the suspension thread. This arrangement has not caused me any problems with tyres touching etc.

Cheers GW

just a note 260rs wheel fitment is alot different on the rear compared to normal rs4 stageas.

i have 17x9+30 on front and rear and the rears are perfect fit sticking out around a couple of mm and the fronts are in the gaurds abit due to running 3 degrees negative camber, if i run normal camber they are spot on as well. I think +20 on the front and rear will stick out too far unless u wanna run heaps of camber and flare the gaurds alot.

(waves hand in the air) I AM!!! ive got 18x9 +20 offset all round on mine (there off atm cleaning the rims up) almost flush front and rear. maybe a few mm proud. mines std ride height for now. i'll post some piccys 4 u when u put em back on

well as luck would have it, i got a puncture in the side wall of a tire today so i decided to put my rims on. so here are some pics of the clearance to the guard. i threw in a pic of the height of the guard just to show u what it looks like at stock ride height. :P i should also mention that the front wheel isnt straight. thats why i didnt take the pic from the front.

ps dont look at how dirty my car is.

Thanks for the info and the pics..much appreciated. I think they are a good size to go for..particularly with my car being standard height (cant drop it much with the low dolphine front bar).

What size tyres are you running being a 9" rim I am guessing 255/35/18 ???

Cheers and thanks again.

yeah sorry i should've mentioned that. they're 235/40 r18. due to the puncture i didnt have much choice in tyres, in fact that was all i could get. but it looks good though, its got a small amount of stretch, which will be handy when i do lower it. i just gotta work out how low i can go and still get up my driveway.

I've been looking for rims for my 260. Looking through hyper rev mag, 18x9 +20 seems a popular size.

But, there isn't much choice with this width and offset.

agreed. just look around the forum 4 sale sections and trading posts etc, till u find something u like. thats how i found mine (i got lucky and found exactly what i wanted). is ur 260 that sweet white one i see kickin around the coast??

Yep Ray thats probably mine, esp if it has squeaky brakes. Just got some Project u rotors delivered today, so with some new pads the squeal will hopefully disappear.

sweet dude, if u see me around give us a wave.

there's no way 9.5" +20 rims will fit without touching the guards,especially in the rear.

Justin...

Ditto, even 9" is a really neat fit at stock height.

Are you kidding me, the rear guards on Stagea's are HUGE. 10" +20 fit a breeze with only a lipping (that is bending the inner lip on the guard up, it was not flared at all)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=3525623

....oh...and thats 9.5 +1 on the front, no scrubbing, nothing, not at that 4wd height. Needed a 20mm lowering on the front and 10mm on the rear, I just didn't have enough adjustment.

9" +20 will be flush on the rear, and slightly sunken on the front. I'd run 9" +20 and 9" +10 on the fronts if you wanted to be conservative, like most other Australians' wheel fitments.

If those pics show your idea of a wheel fitting well within the guards,you need your eyes checked. they're both a good inch outside of them.

I can see rim AND tyre protruding past the guard and the bumper,it's not inside.

this isn't rocket science,it's either behind the metalwork,or it isn't. that isn't. not by a very long way.

it's not being conservative either,it's trying to remain remotely legal. wheels hanging out of guards only works for offroad 4wds. contrary to whatever you want things to be like,this is Australia,and we're not bosozoku. you must have pretty lenient cops in your area,as noone up here would last five minutes with a 'fitment' like that.

agreed.

my 9"+20 rims are right on the guard line at the rear, so if i lower it i'll have to lip the guards a little. but my fronts are actually about 5mm proud of the guard line, but its such a small amount u dont notice it unless ur really looking up close. but they are in no way " sunken in" as AlexCim put it.

the rims shown in the linked pics posted by AlexCim are clearly a long way past the guard line and the only reason he didnt need to flare the guards is because he stretched a pair of 235/40s onto a 10" rim (imho to much stretch), any wider tyre would need serious guard flaring. but everyone has their own tastes.

you could probably get any width rim in there if u made big enough flares, but we r talking about fitting them without touching the body as silva33 asked.

Yeah man, the laws here in Vic are pretty relaxed towards cars. *sarcasm*

Put it this way, for me, the wheels were the least of my worries if I got pulled over. And well, I didn't get pulled over at all and went to many "hotspots" with cops. They tended to go for the more sporty, older, sports cars.... not the family car with wheels.

9" +20 IS conservative. That's the truth. But its about taste, so its not something "bad" in any way.

PS. Dave - Arch (@ Rampant) told me you spoke to him, I am now certain you will get something hella sweet!

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
