If you look for the thread called Stagea Wheel Dimensions there is heaps of info in there about wheel sizes, what guys are running, and how they fit. Also bear in mind that manual and auto stageas have a different rear track, from memory the auto is wider so the widths and offsets of what they can fit is different

hai gunther, welcome. :D

i see you have bought a RSV rear wheel drive stagea, was it keirans yellow one?

yes my first turbo. yes its yellow. but its not keirans. i bought it off a guy in seville grove.

Ha ha ha, look like nice volk copies. :thumbsup:

yes they are. as much as i want te37's so bad i cant really afford them atm. :(

www.willtheyfit.com

pull off your current wheels and go searching for the offset and width of them

then measure how much more "poke" you want

then work it out from that website

guessing you'd have the auto rear cradle so you will want the 18x9.5 +22

Mate I know what I'm talking about. I worked for a place that imports them. We had a heap of problems with quality control as paint in each batch came out different colours.

so you mean you worked with origin-lab D1 parts manufacturers, that work with 7 tune, hellaflush etc in the US??

*tips hat

so where you getting your info from? sorry for my sarcasm. i think i know what you are talkn about from ns.com. a few places imported them from US cheap as the OZ dollar increased and ppl were virtually getting them at abargainn price including delivery. the real ones are forged and jap made. i heard some taiwan copies were getting around- not sure though.

sorry dudes i was MIA. very busy atm.

i did find some work VS wheels for 1k.

staggered 17x8's & 17X9's +35 on all fours.

i know its small as, but it will work on the look i will be trying to pull. all fits well rears are flushed but front needs a bit of work.

not too fussed with it.

    • 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.
    • 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.
