the front can actually take a larger wheel/.lower offset than the rear

I had to roll my fenders quite a bit ot get an 18x9+20 to fit well.

i haev an 18x9 -5 (wiht a 25mm spacer total of -5) on the front with a roll as well, but it fits the same as the rear

its a skyling thing, all skylines can have a lower offset in the front

really?? i just tried some 18x9 +20 on my rs4 s and they fitted perfectly. but mine is std ride height

Will these fit the s1 stag?

Hey guys i have a set of 18 inch ROH Drift Rs with tyres for sale the tyres are a cheaper brand. 2 of the tyres have about 80% left and other 2 have about 60% left on them all tyres are roadworthy. 2 of the rims have slightly bigger gutter marks (not huge but visable) the other two have very little ones hardly noticable. I am not sure of the offset but they fit r33 reasonably well they sit slightly inside the guard. they measure 18x8 the tyres are 235/40/18 and the stud pattern is 114.3 so it will fit other cars with the same stud pattern. I am asking $900 but am open to offers any inspection more than welcome

yeah, if you lower, the camber you gain will allow you to space it out more

one of htese days i will order new wheels and fill up that space i rolled

BUT

if you run camber arms front and rear 18x9 +20 is perfect alla roudn

hey guys,

got mine on today

18" x 9" +35 all round coulda done with +20 on the front though, the +35's sit well and are pretty much level with guards maybe stick out a touch but the front are well in :D. oh well im pretty happy witht them.

the pic makes them look small :)

The R33GTR 17 X 9 X 30 with 245/40/17's clears the standard guards with the ride height at at 340 mm front and 330 mm rear.

The standard wheels were 16 X 6.5 with 225/50/16's

The PCD is the usual Skyline 5 X 114.5

:) cheers :blink:

Does anybody know if any stagea chassis came out with R33GTR rims on? I just dropped my S2 RS-Four off to be fitted with them & tyres and the tyre fitter asked if I'd checked them for fittment, said they looked pretty wide lol. I just told him they were a factory wheel :sick:

didn't come out with 33 gtr rims from factory but you'll have no trouble fitting them. might just need to fold the inner lip up dependant on your ride height and tyre choice

from memory they're only 17's yeah? 17x9+30? easy fit.

It shouldn't be a problem getting R33 GT-R wheels on a Stagea, as Sydneykid has a set on his with his suspension kit, so there'll be no clearance issues.

Thanks guys yeah Mike they're only 17 x 9 (though without tyres make it look like a steamroller :))

I did a test fit on the front and it clears the back of the hubs by about half an inch... but apart from that looked all good. I have seen a few with '33GTR rims, and the pic of SK's convinced me... especially since he hadn't done anything to his suspension I don't think at that time. But I read somewhere that he had seen 3 or 4 with 33GTR rims and I thought that some of the early 260RS's or something came out with them...

I would have loved some R33 GT-R rims for mine too, but I just managed to find some newer rims for mine and am just waiting for tyres to arrive before I get them put on.

All 260RS's (both series 1 and 2) came out with the same BBS rims, similar to the factory mesh-style RS-Four rims, but bigger in diameter and width (I'm pretty sure they were 17x9's, as opposed to 16x7), with different offsets front and rear (+20mm at one end, +30mm at the other, can't remember which way was which though...).

Thanks guys, yeah to me they look freaking huge - not in diameter so much as width! Bare minimum for a stagea I reckon is 9" wide...

Sure will Mike, picked up the car this afternoon... need to lower it an inch or two I think(!), it looks a little SUV with this rim & tyre combo. The Maxxis Z1's look pretty 'chunky'.

Pics tonight :wacko:

i'm not sure what suspension you're running but if you want height adjustable coilovers PM pete ( BooDah ) - he's selling a set of teins :wacko:

Thanks; suspension is standard. Not sure if I wanna go that firm; but i'll think about it...

Yeah I think you're right; I had the rims powdercoated last week, and discovered they have some awesome pearl/metalflake finishes in powdercoat now. I chose "precious steel pearl", but they accidentally used "precious silver pearl" (which is what they are now). They offered to re-do it for free, but I didn't want anything too dark; they're close to the original colour which is cool but yeah, little too 'seasick smurf' unless viewed in bright sunlight (and it was getting dark when I took those shots). Next to bring it down a bit...

Hey all, can someone let me know if these will fit S1 Stag?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Diameter and width are fine, but the offset looks too high - I'm guessing that if they DO fit on your car without hitting on any suspension components or rubbing on the inner wheel-arch, then they're going to sit too far inside your guards to look right. They'll be too tucked in.

Also, if they do fit, make sure you use the right holes for your wheel-studs - this wheel is a 10-stud design, 5 of the holes are for a 100mm PCD (Subaru Impreza, Forrestor and Liberty; Audi TT and A3; VW Golf Mk3, Mk4, and New Beetle) and the other are for 114.3mm PCD, which is what your Stagea will use. The hub centre size is also different, so you'll need to get an adaptor to suit - this is VERY important as this is where the weight of your car sits on the wheels, NOT on your wheel studs.

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
