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?

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
