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.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
