hey guys

im trying to decide what offsets to get

its still a while till i get them but i wanna know if im being to ambitious

im sick of having such bad offset so im thinking...

lenso d1r's, black 18x9 +15 or 18x10 -1

i think the 10's will be ouf of the guards but i've got a lot of room till that happens

ppl seem to run 10's easily on 33 gtrs so i guess they will fit on the stagea?

i ran the 10's through an offset calc and it said they will stick out 74mm more

anyone running these widths? pics?

hopefully this thread can become a reference point for rs4s owners

Thanks, Tom

A few points to consider when picking wider wheel widths. They will all affect the fitment.

1. Tyre size

2. Ride height

3. Camber

4. Tyre stretch

My car for example. Has series 2 manual rear cradle out of a 'S' in it.

1. 245/35x19's

2. 330mm

3. approx 2deg neg on the rear

Wheel size 19x9.5 +12

With this combination I have approx 10mm inner clearance to shocks and I cannot fit my little finger in between the outer tyre and the guard. Maybe 5-7mm clear. They never rub.

I am looking at reducing the neg camber to approx 0.5 so I will need to roll the guards. It will also increase the inner clearance to the strut.

245's are a little stretched on 9.5's. Will be worst on 10's.

You could get 10's to fit with streched tyres and and some camber with minimum rim outside the guards.

All depends what look you want.

Personally I would stay to max of 9.5's, but everyone is different.

i'm running 18 x 10's on my S2 stagea. not sure of the offset, i'll have a look tonight.

being an auto and having wider track on the rear they hang out a little bit, but i've got 235's stretched on them so they sit okay.

i've also dialed in about 2.5 neg camber on the rear to tuck them in at the top.

Thanks guys

I want aggressive fitment but I'm currently at stock height but I think I'm a bit lower cos the car is fitted with impul shocks and the springs seem stiffer than others

I'll measure the height later

they will be ~+20 offset

i swapped my rear cradle to an s14 one, so fitment is the same as an rs4-s

ran

18x9.5+2 235/40 silverstones -2 deg camber front

18x9.5+1 235/40 federals -0.5 deg camber rear

they will be ~+20 offset

close mate, according to my measurements (can't read japanese) it looks like they are +12. they were tucked in alot better when it was running 3.5' neg on the rear, but i was also destroying tyres even after setting up the toe accordingly.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
