Wheel & Tyre Upgrades

[Sydneykid]

Anyone done a wheel and tyre upgrade on their Stagea? What sizes?

[Evo_Lee]

Haven't you got the Stagea with you there to check...else any Japanese wheel maker website will have the possible wheel specs.

[Sydneykid]

Have Stagea, but don't have lots of wheels and tyres to test.

[Evo_Lee]

Right...did you want to know specifically which wheels from the Nissan range will fit?

There is a HyperRev issue in fact 2 for the Stagea which also looks at what kind of wheels you can fit to the Stagea. Unfortunately there isn't much in terms of tuning, as they are pretty much the same as Skylines...engine wise. If I happen to go pass a newagent I can take a squizz for you, anything specific you wanted to know about the wheels specs?

I'll take any info you can dig up, thanks

I'll also speak to my mate, who also owns a RS4 with some nice Works wheels.

[Duncan]

take it down to Tempe Tyres and tell them you want some sick chromies....and check out some proper wheel sizes while you are there?

[Sydneykid]

Thanks Duncan, I wonder if they will let me drive it around with a few sets of loan wheels and tyres for a couple of days each? Just to make sure they don't rub anywhere and that the handlig feels OK, they don't make lots of noise, some tyres simply don't work on some cars etc.

The clearance testing may be tricky though, because I won't have set the heights up and maybe not upgraded the brakes. Golly, gosh I would hate to buy a set of wheels that fitted today and then find when I lowered it and put the bigger brakes on those nice new wheels didn't fit. :thumbdwn:

I'll bet that would never happen.......... :jk:

I'm hoping that the R34 GTT wheels I have will fit with no problems. I'll let you know how I go.

these are the wheel and tyre offsets nismo uses as a guide

STAGEA

18X8.0 +33 225/40 R18 18X9.0 +39 255/35 R18

17X7.0 +29 215/45 R17 17X7.0 +29 215/45 R17

one of the guys on SWAT reccomends...

フロントが２３５/４５/１７　８Ｊ　オフセット＋４５

リアが２３５/４５/１７　９Ｊ　オフセット＋４４です。

or should I say,

Front: 235/45/17 by 8". Offset +45

Rear: 235/45/17 by 9". Offset +44

[funkymonkey]

Also... one of the other guys on their bbs runs...

Summer

Front: WORK VS-SS 18 by 7.5 +15 225/40

Rear: BBS LM 18 by 8" +38 FALKEN ZIEGS 235/40

Winter:

SSR integral 17 by 9" +38 MZ03 235/45

When using the 17's he uses 20mm spacers at the front and 26mm spacers at the back

Extreme Winter:

MT-14 15 by 6.5" +38

26mm spacers all around

I Bought a set of nismo LM GT2 17x9 +16 offset for my 260.. still at the docks ...judging by the rest of the thread 9`s on the front might be a bit of a problem :Oops:

[Evo_Lee]

SK, I had a quick squizz at the magazine over the weekend...nothing special, same tire spec as the Skylines...17x7.5, x8.0

Thanks for that, where they the same offset as Skylines?

[dAVE]

Do the RS260's run different offset than the RS FOUR versions?

Seems like there are a few fairly different offset specs flying around this thread!

STAGEA WC34 1785 +30 225/45R17 1785 +30 225/45R17

STAGEA WC34 1885 +30 225/40R18 1885 +30 225/40R18

STAGEA C34 1780 +38 225/45R17 1780 +38 225/45R17

STAGEA C34 1880 +32 225/40R18 1880 +32 225/40R18

[dAVE]

by the looks of it Jake you may need to roll the guards a bit to get +16 wheels under!
