Et For 19" To Stagea Autech 260rs

[Mathias1986]

Hi!

Im wondering what ET i would need to have on my stagea if i put 8,5" wide 19" rims on it?

im going to lower it with Tein springs so i need advice what kind of ET i need on the rims or is 19" too big for the car?

Also does anyone know where i can find som data on the Wheel Aligment for this car?

So it wont eat tyres when it's lowered.

My experience is stay clear of 19's (could of been my width aswell) i had two blow outs both back wheels driving down from canberra the tires were rubbing on the top of the suspension where the shocks join the chassis. and at $375 a tire i just left them in the garage and went back to stockies.

i've read that 260RS+RS4S have different offsets to a normal RS4. could make it easier to fit 19s...? ill be doing it in the next few months anyway and if they dont fit nicely, ill make them.

yep the autech has different ET, also they have different in the front and the rear.. i have to check that when im in the garage what it is standard..

As mentioned above, does anyone know specifically what the RS4S offet requirements are? Same as 260rs or Standard Stagea?

Hey, i dont mean to ask a stupid question but what does "ET" stand for????

Also i have been told that tires for 19's are harder to find and more expensive than 18's or 20's. I'm not sure why this is, though i have heard it a few times. Anyways just something extra you might wana check out first.

19's have a much better range than 18s and 20s as it's a more common size in aus

I have 19" x 9" on my rs4 no problems +35 offset

My brother has 20x8.5 with +42 offset (terrible) on his RS4, when they were first fitte they rubbed on the coilovers pretty bad, we have since fitted 25mm spacers from just jap to bring the final offset to +17.

I would think for 19x9 +35 down would be fine, depending on the type of suspension adjustment you are using, (coilovers the seat hight changes, this is what causes the rim/tyre to touch the suspension)

Not sure if this answers your question, but hopefully it helps.

Unless you work at Tempe Tyres, I fail to see how 19" tyres are more common than 18" ones.

Guys just goin on wat i've been told in regards to the new common whores (comadores). I was told that, well i suppose u could say its a flaw in the dessign but because most sport 19's....and 19's are more expensive than others because most people that upgrade go for 18's or 20's..Thus making 19's less popular and more expensive.

Not 100% if this is true. Just wat i've been told.

i checked my autech today and what i understand when looking at the original rims it's ET 30 in the front and ET 20 in the rear.

205/60R15 15x6jj +40 poverty pack

205/60R15 15x6.5jj +40 " "

205/55R16 16x7jj +40 rs four

215/50R17 17x7jj +30 rs four s

as in the factory crud manual . its in japanese but its pretty clear what the numbers . obviously the "peverty pack " bit isnt in the manual but yeah . dont know for 260 rs unless they come with same figures as rs four s but one would assume thay have wider rims
