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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
