Stagea Offset

[Dr.J]

So opinions...

+15 or +20?

I'm buying these wheels interstate, so I can't even look at them first!

I just want to do it right the first time...

how wide?? how tall??

[Ten Four]

+15

[Dr.J]

how wide?? how tall??

Tyres will be 235/45/17's on the aforementioned wheels...

[Run-It-Hard]

The stagea you bought is a AWd RS4 right??

You will have big issues if you run those tyres. Need to be the same rolling diameter front to rear.

No I wont, it's no longer run in AWD I'll keep the wheels that came with the car for when I want to run it in AWD though.

I'd be going for the +15 if it were a 9 inch wheel.

[floody]

Ok. 18x10" +30 (with 235/40R18s) on S1 RS4 auto?

[Run-It-Hard]

You'll have inner clearance issues on the rear AFAIK.

Mine are 18X10 +21 on the rear, and they look like they might "just" clear with 2-3mm to spare.

[floody]

Ah well thats no use then, no way could I get them on with a bolt on spacer without munting the guards. Damn shame!

[Run-It-Hard]

Sure you can, negative camber and tyre stretch is your friend! Just get a 10mm spacer and a 235 tyre then you'll be golden.

Does anyone know if I'm going to have to roll my guards if I put 18 x 9 +15 rims on my M35?

[Sunkist]

may add flaring too lol thats if you lower it.

[richzx]

Depends what size tyre you want to run Ironpaw. I reckon you can get those wheels on there ok though.

I dont know if you can roll them, the fronts are already folded. You had better go to someone that rolls them, with the rims, and see what they say. Mine are 17x9 +30 and they stick out so you should be looking at around 15mm more? Perhaps you can just stretch the tyres?

hmmm

about to order tyres...

I think I'll stick with 245/45/18...

but according to this site:

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

235/45/18 is a direct match rolling diameter wise?

That's what I run on mine; I reckon a much better fit in the wheelarches, spot on for 9" width, and only 3% out on the speedo.

Packed full of win!

[ironpaw]

What happens if I run 18 x 8? Should I be going 235/45/18 instead?

[Daleo]

Nah, I'm running 245/45/18's on 18x8's; looks tops

BACK TO THIS

do any of you know what would be the best offset to run 19x9s on the nnm35 stagea

or maybe scottu could answer this is 19x9 to big for the stag

would you rather go 18x9 ?

[ironpaw]

19's definately look better. You'd probably need something like +35 or +30 minimum...
