Hi

I came across these the other day when looking for wheels to put on my RS4S when it gets here. Has anyone seen/had them on a car or any other wheels of this brand?

I think they look pretty nice, but I'm yet to see them in the metal, or see them on a car.

Thanks

they look ok!

check how much they weigh. i would imagine a lot if they are cheapish wheels

This may be a dumb question, but how much should they weigh? Is there an easy way to find out other than getting the shop to weigh them for me?

gday

so what size and offset are you looking at and do you have any other rims in mind?

also noticed your in launceston, wouldn't mind meeting up one day.,

Hey

I'm looking at 18s, not sure about offset yet, I want to try and keep a bit of depth to them which is why I'm keen to see them on a car or in the metal so I can get a better idea what's possible.

Yep, in Launceston so happy to meet up some time. Hopefully should have the car in mid-Jan (it's on the boat from Japan next week), so looking forward to that!

Check their website for sizing and weight. Tangles has these wheels in 18s, i think. Do you have a RS4S or RS4? Wider rear track needs offset to be higher at the rears. Swapping cradles sorts that. I got cr kais 17 x 9 +23. IMO get good tyres and rims that fit your car well. Try not to use spacers.

Its going to be a long couple of months for you then.

I have 18x8 with 30 offset and my tires are 235x40, when i lowered the car i needed 15mm spacers on the rear but after getting adjustable camber arms and

bringing the camber back to standard i didn't need the spacers any more.

When you get yours down here your welcome to have a look and try my rims to see how they fit, I am pretty sure they didn't fit with standard hight,

the problem was the rims where rubbing against the coilovers which are a lot thicker then standard so i guess it all depends what you have on your car.

I'm getting an RS4S Dayz edition. I can see some stats on the webiste, but no weight I don't think.

The plan is to get wheels and tyres that fit well, I don't want to be mucking around with spacers or have bad fitting rims. If these ones don't work out, I'll try and find something else.

Haha, it certainly will be a long couple of months, particularly once the car reaches Oz and is getting complied etc, so close yet so far!

Coming and looking at different rims sounds good. The more I see the more idea I will have.

Next question, where is the best place to get them done in Launceston?

IMO dont fck around too much with the camber. With coilovers or lowered the rear wheels naturally tend to lean in, and result in chewing the inside of the tyres. This occurs because it physically works against the multi link independant rear suspension of the stagea.

Ppl use camber kits as a cheap workaround for looks, but dont reliase they are just complicating suspension components when they should concerntrate on strenghtening them. Let me emphasise again - buy rims that fit with a 9" width and good tyres. Offset and disc type is the key to a successfull fit. Remember always equate fitting bigger brakes behind them. :(

anything to suit gtr will fit

the same size all round is a must

18x9 +15 would be a good start

Cool, thanks for that. Definitely looking at the same size all round. Is the fact that they are 18x8.5 rather than 18x9 going to make much of a difference?

Basically, an 18x8.5+15 will sit 1/2 inch further inside the guard than 18x9+15.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
