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

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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
