RS4s wheels are 17 x 7.5 +30 I just replaced mine recently. Don't have them anymore as I sold them so I can't be much help on the measurement side of things.

what are you running now and what are your clearances?

If you have a look on page 8 there is some pics of my car there with rims on it. In terms of fitment my guards are standard e.g. no rolling. The front outside edge of the rim is pretty much flush with the guard. The rear is in ever so slightly, maybe 10mm. On the inside I reckon I have close to an inch of clearance from the inside of the wheel to the shock body. The overall height of my wheels is near enough identical to the 215/50/17 inch tyres I had on the car before.

I could have my car alot lower without any clearance issues, I used to have it alot lower on my 17's but i kept scraping the underneath when going into the driveway and over speed humps so I raised it about an inch. Heres a couple of pics

(FYI I run Greddy coilovers so not sure how this would compare to standard struts).

im looking at buying a rs4s and ive got a set of rims in mind that are 19x8 with +35 offset, do you think i'll have issues? or will they sit too far in, eg look crap

it's probably pretty clear by now that my wheel fitement standards are a little more agressive than the majority of you blokes and that by my standards they really will look sunken to all buggery

look at petes white rs4s a few posts back, the wheels you are looking at will sit 39mm in from them :S inner clearance will be about the same

hmmmm

i just looked them up and it appears they will extend out further than the standard rims by an ENTIRE 1mm !!!

but the rims im looking at dont seem to be available in a smaller offset :(

anyone else running on aftermarket wheels that only just extend out or are the same as the standard rims??? .....with pics???

at the moment im looking at either Konig - Hotswap Silver or Vault Crystal, both are 19 x 8 with +35 offset. also considering the vaults in 20 x 8.5 +35 but im not sure if they will foul the strut

i know its been a long three or so years, most certainly glad to be back

i put down a deposit on the new stagea today

Great to hear Andy.

Mikey is going to help me fit something to the yellow pig soon....when they are in stock so if you want to come over and share a beer and wave your hands around and point while I flounder around you are more than welcome.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
