hi guys, thinking about buying a set of versus Gripp rims for my C34 stag, ive read another thread with heaps obout the offset, but nothing really about 20" wheels, and not 10" wide.

these are the sizes i thought might fit

Rear:

20 x 10

5/114.3

+38

Front

20 x 8.5

5/114.3

+35

the car has HKS hypermax III coilovers, but im hoping the 10" will miss the shock, and being +38 sit just inside the guards as the car is fairly low.

heres a link to the wheels

Hi Mitch,

Is your Stag an auto or manual? You will struggle to fit them under an auto rear end and they will hit the strut. My car is an auto with 18 x 9.5 +25's. With the 10" +38, you have 19mm less clearance on the inside of the rim. I have about 15mm clearance between rim and coilover body. I've also got camber arms to fix the excessive camber when you go too low, meaning I have more room that with factory arms on the inside of the rim.

Also, my rims are in line with the guard.

mmm didnt think so its manual, factory RS4S. basically i want to fill the guards out nicely, and this thing has a phat kit on it that makes the stock 17's look like they are toy car wheels. i dont necessarly need 20's but i want somthing unique and plenty of dish. the rims need to look solid and tough to match the car. any suggestions?? i have around 2k to spend on them, car is getting complianced atm, pick it up next week. i am planning on showing it as its immaculate, i have a 300rwkw r33, so power is not what im after.

there is another thread with pics of this in reagrds to the kit, but heres a couple.

You will be able to get 10's all round if your car is a manual. 18/19 x 10 + 20 should give you the look you're after. 20's can make a car look like a rollerskate...

Here's mine with 18 x 9.5 +25. 15mm bolt on spacers up front.

awsome, thanks for the pics. thats exactly the look im after, thats good news,it means i can come down in size and buy some better rims as long as i can find he right offsets. i dont want to go all "bling" and dump it to some ridculous height, but filled out guards, maybe losing just the top of the rear tyres as yours are is perfect. as for camber adjustment, no idea if the car has aftermarket things or not, didnt get under it to look, all i could see was a nice set of HKS hypermax III coil overs :D

cheers for your help.

another thought... if i was really set on those oringal wheels... couldnt i put the 20x8.5's with the +35 offset all round....i know they would sit in a bit, but i could thow on some 8mm or 10mm spacers....

heres another one, i found i can get the te37 style varrosten wheels in a good range of offsets in 19's. i was looking at going all 19x9.5 with a +22 offset which should sit nice??? or if they will fit, which i doubt, putting the 19x10.5's on the back with either a +12 or +0 offset....

i think they wiould look pretty phat, not really what i wanted but i need them before christmas, cant sit around and wait for somthing to come along.

have a look on www.option1garage.com

i know your in vic but they can ship + tyres or just use it as a guide (they sell a lot in gtr offsets which is what you want)

i'm planning on getting some gtr-d's in 18x9.5 +12, pending what they look like fitted (and my getting some spare cash for them)

i think i worked out you can get a set of 18's + 265 tyres for about $1600 from o1g

i looked at some advanti's that are for sale on here, not the same style though, kinda msh type for $1100. they were 20's, but still not the look im after, they are kinda more luxury style. i dont mind the ROTA GTR-d which have a fair bit of dish on them, and still have that jap look about them, but i found them only in 18's, and i really want somthing bigger, they do fill out the guards, but the cars ive looked at with them, like the C34 with the pink ones, the car is dumped just to get them in the guards to look nice, and there is no way im going to get my car that low with the kit on it.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
