as per PM reply brendan, you'll have alot of trouble making them fit (particularly since i get the feeling you want to put them on the front - talking about clearing big brakes)

if you are set on te37's get some 18x9.5+12's all round but be prepared to pay a mint as your pm suggests you want brand new ones

thanks for that info mate

probably go for 18x8.5" +35 as per attached

will put big brake kit on track car project with bolton spacers & stag rear calipers

and throw the r32 gtr calipers allround (with new track pads) onto the stagea

Hi guys,

I'm New on the Board and i am really happy for so much stagea Fans!

I'm from Germany and i have an 260RS. In next time i will tell more about from my Person and the stagea!

I have two fast questions about the rims at the stagea. Is it possible to have an 8.5x18 et36 and 10x18 et37 rims without Problems? Know how Annone? Second, i have four 245/40 tires for this rims, is it ok to drive that on a 10J?? I really happy for your answers and tips.

Hi and welcome!

You HAVE to keep the same rolling diameters between the front and rear. If you run the same tyres on different sized rims, it will not work. The rolling diameters will be different because of the stretching of the rear tyres to fit over the 10" rims.

You should try and find a set of wheels and tyres that are the same size and width front and rear, or you will have BIG and expensive problems with the transfer box after you drive it for a while.

Helo Guys,

just to confirm this.

18x9 +20 5/114.3 fitted with 245/40R18 will fit onto the 260rs? Cos i read somewhere in this thread that i wll need spacers and longer wheel nut for the rear rims.

thanks peps.

I'm not sure if they will fit without hitting on the strut, if they do fit then they will be sunken inside the guards heaps.

Also, for an RS4 due to the ATTESSA system you would be better off running the same width front and back, unless you work out the tyre sizes so you can maintain the same front and back rolling diameter.

G'day All,

Nice thread, heaps of info on offset for manuals, just a little about offset for autos though?

My Partner is in the process of buying herself a completely stock std S2 RSFourV Tiptronic Stag.

Stag to be lowered on Tein Wagon S-Tech Coils - Then She wants some nice rims!

Short of me trying my R33 GTR and AU Falcoon rims (when we get it home), can some smart person suggest the best offset for 18 x 8.5-9 rims all round - considering from what I have read the auto has a wider rear end in it compared to manual.

Advanced thanks for your time and info,

Cheers Mike.

Hi is anyone running 19x9.5 +12 on a rs four s without rolling the guards or is this to aggressive! Sorry if this has been covered! Thanks in advance for any help

That is exactly what I run. No guard rolling. 245/35/19 tyres with acceptable rear camber. 330mm ride height

Thanks your is exactly how id like mine to sit! Is there any more room under the front guards with the 34 front compared to standard??

rims :- RAYS LM GT4

size :- 19 x 9.5 +30 offset

tyres :- Dunlop Maxx SP

size :- 19x35x245

fits a lowered m35 without rolling the gaurds thus far.

Thats mad. Look at those things! More photos please!!! I'm glad you didn't give up or listen to the "mechanics..."

:P

edit- found pics! NICE :yes:

ok, ive tried figuring this out for myself here...

would 19x9.5+15 fit a stagea?

or +22? (theres a sick set of Rays GT-C's on a website that i've got my eye on)

and whats the deal with the 260RS? rear offset is different to the front yes?

if those offsets are wrong could someone tell me what offset i'd need to run 19x9.5's (or 10's if possible...)

thanks Brendan.

What model C34 do you have?

Auto?

manual?

260Rs with Brembo's?

That will determine what fits

When looking at Rays wheels against width and offset there is a couple of things to consider

Depending what on the offset on a certain size will deteremine what the caliper clearance is as referred to by Rays as disk type A, B or C

If you check out the Rays site, find the wheel you want, pick a size and compare it to the charts. If you need a "A" disk clearance, the offsets are different when compered to a B or C disk

Example

I run Rays's GT-C's Face 2 in a 19x9.5 +12, manual rear end.

Check the charts and you will see they are a "B" disk with 86mm outer rim (dish) Only just clear (1-2mm) r34 GTT 310mm dia brakes.

If I went to 19x9.5 +11, only 1mm different in offset, but they are a A disk (fit over brembo's) but with a 73mm out rim (so less dish)

Hope this helps.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
