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.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
