Rota DPT's look nice!, what size tyre?

I was thinking about rota boosts in 18x9 +27, will i have any fitment issues without coilovers? S.2 automatic

Should be be pretty flush with the guards as its within 3mm of a R34 GTR rim, what size tyres are people running with R34 GTR rims?

cheers

Thanks mate, I'm happy with them... I'm running 235/40 so there is a bit of stretch. I Could have gone 245 but there isn't really much room to play with as the rear is quite low.

You should be right with those specs, The rear will be close to flush but fronts as u know are 25mm narrower - I've previously run a 9 +38 with a 245/45 which was too close to the strut...with the factory struts I think u have less clearance so maybe go a 245/40 :thumbsup:

My S1 with TE37s (33 GTR offset: 17x9 +30) using 20mm spacers to make the front the same as the rears, Tyres Contisport 3 255 40 17. I will be going a tad lower still but tyres will tuck in as I have adjustable camber arms front and rear (mainly for my slicks but I won't bother putting them back to stock during the summer).

sorry i should have put varrstoen 2.2 wheels so u know which ones they are. they look like then ROTA Grid wheels

Our Nissans are 66.1 centre bore. Unless you get some Nissan specific rims most aftermarket items have a centre bore of 73.1mm.

You can get plastic locating rings but better to get metal ones like this:

+15 will stick out somewhat - you'll have to deal to your guards (see the pic above #342 of my car with +30 - ---+15 will stick out half an inch more and my gaurds have been pushed out about 20 mm

Found some cheap GTR fittment wheels. 18x9 +15. Am I correct in thinking they will fit my rs4s? Need an answer ASAP please!! Cheers guys.

A +15 will look good - you may need to slightly roll the rear guards (depending how low u are) but since it's a manual you should ave more room to play with.

What wheels are they anyway?

post-81631-0-58801500-1321071878_thumb.jpg Yeah I just did a heap of reading through here and found a white rs4s running 18x9.5 +15 with 8mm slip on spacers for the rear to gain strut clearance on page 11 and it looks perfect. The wheels I'm lookin at are only 9" so that gives me 7mm more clearance inside and out. Shouldn't need to run a spacer and don't want to! I'm still at stock ride height (much to my dismay!) haha. I believe they're a Lenso D1r... Edited by BMX666

So you got the varrstoen's then? I've been keeping an eye on everything Stage on here for a while now hahaha. I'll find out if i got mine tomorrow.... Just need to drive to Sydney (about 600k's) to get them, then put tyres on them! Looking forward to the pics tho...

They should look good on the stag, looks like they have a bit of dish too!! If you coming to sydney to get tyres check out Tempe tyres, they are usually cheap and have stock of most tyres (I have no affiliation with them btw) :)

Nah I'll get tyres locally down here. Just have to drive up to pick up the rims. Going to be a big day if I get them!! I know Tempe and I know they're good. Although I've been stuff around by them in the past when getting wheels for my 5L VQ Statesman. Probably wasn't all their fault as I was in a rush and they kept saying they're coming they're coming for about 3 weeks. Ended up getting the same wheels in a different color, cheaper and in about 3 days from somewhere else. Although they had the sane bank account so I guess they still got my cash in the end. Haha. 7 day wheel and tyre or something like that. I'd give Tempe another go if I wasn't in a rush tho. Not dissing them at all.

i didnt get the varrstoen wheels. i got some Koya Endless wheels custom made to my offset choice they are the blackwheels with chrome inserts.they arent bad,not really as jap spec as id like, but meh $1800 for the wheels and tyres is not a bad price.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
