ok guys, this is a killer for me. im trying to fins some rims that fit the rears of my RS4S, since the stock r34gtt rims wont fit without 20mm spacers, and the r32gtr rims have the same story.

one is 7.5 +38 for the gtt rims and the 32gtr are 8 with +30 offset.

i found some nice rims im trying to get which are 17x9, and im wondering what the best offset for the rears will be

i can get them from -25 to +15 in 5mm intervals.

is -25 too much?

when i ran the r34gtt rims with my 30mm spacer, i still had another 3cm to fill in the guards on the outside of the rim.

at the moment im just in need for some rear rims.

Don't they need to be the same all around to make sure all four wheels have the same rolling diameter? In answer to your question I think you'd be after about +15. Mine (pics above) are 18x9.5 +15

i have same rolling diameter all round, 17" gtt fronts and rears but want to replace the rears so i dont need to use the spacers.

im going to opt for deep dish steelies 17x9 i just need to know the best offset.

as 16x8 +30 doesnt fit and 17x7.5 +38 didnt fit.

i did try 17x8 with a +0 and that filled the guards very well

just thought that 8j is too thin for my liking plus they were only lend rims.

so yours is a rs4s?

ok quick question, quite urgent, i have a RS4 auto, sitting at 340mm, wondering wats the best size rims to go, widest offset possible. with a 18x9/9.5 rim. so +30 the best or will a +10/15 fit? need to fit both front and rears. thanks

nah, dont care for the front of yet, just trying to sort out the ass. im having heaps of trouble finding decent offset rims, so im getting custom steelies made :D

What's the cost on those?

if i have the centre piece its 150 per rim. but found a set of 17x9 +5 so i might buy them.

i hope my calculations were correct. i ran 17x9+38 on the rear, with 35mm spacers, so they technically were 17x9 +3?

they had a perfect offset

Hmmmm, might have to get new others for my watanabe wheels :-) and put my 17x8's on the front and make the 7's into 9's (stagea is going so the r31 will probably see a bit if love)

Looks awesome, what brand of rim are they? what size tyre and did you need coiovers to fit them at rear?, all he rims i have been looking at are 17,18 x9 +28

cheers

darren

they are work emotion CR KAI's, been lowered to 340mm, with camber. just misses rear guard by mm when bounced (without folding over lip), nd have about 3 cm still to go before hits strut. coilovers help. nd running a 245/45 tyre on it. thats when using the Auto wider rear cradle.

Edited by import_zone

been looking through this thread for ages and still not sure if the wheels I'm looking at will fit.

wheels I'm looking at are 18 x 9.5 + 20 and going onto a s2 rs4v (auto)

from what i can find the fronts should be alright with rolled guards

anyone know how the rear will be with the wider rear track of the auto?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • 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
