After advice on these sizes for S2 C34 auto.

18x8+30 fronts - (99% sure they are a good fit)

18x8.5+33 rears - this is my concern, not worried about atessa problems - will match circumference.

Cheers

Why is it that everyone keeps asking about using different sizes front and rear. It is almost impossible to match sizes 100%. Offsets don't matter only widths. I don't fully understand why you would want different sizes front/rear on a 4wd car.

As far as I remember it is as follows -

Rs4s = same offset front and rear eg.... 18x8 +6 all round.

Rs4/rs4s = staggered offsets eg.... 18x8 +30 rear and 18x8 +6 front.

staggered widths are actually ok, SO LONG AS YOU RUN THE SAME SIZED TYRE

that should get ppls attention, not having a go at you tho steven

all you will do by running different wheel widths with the same tyre is have a bit more stretch in the rear

Lol. I know what you mean, I was just trying to try to point out where the problem lies. If I knew back them what I know now I wouldn't have my retarded rims. I could have just bought any rwd offset rims and been happy, I don't like having 25mm spacers on the front.

Your rears should fit pretty good but you will need spacers for the front. That's where I went wrong. I've got a 18x8 +35 front with a 25mm spacer.

I'm running r34 Gtr wheels 18x9 +30 with 245/40 without spacers the wheels scrub the bilstein suspension with a 3mil spacer it still touches so now ive gone with a 25mm bolt on the rear now it's scrubing the guard so I went to a bolt on 20mm and original wheel stud hit on the rim argh I can't win looks it will be rolling the guard time!

Will be sunk as f#ck in the front. I have S1 auto (thought all the auto awd cradles are the same though?) 18x9" +20 and 235/40R18s, doesn't rub anything anywhere. Rear same sizes, does touch un-lipped guard (on extremes of compression) but will clear by miles with a guard roll.

IMO you'd be better off with the 18x8.5 +33 all round out of the sizes you suggest.

do u have a RS4S or RS4V? as most people that run GTR wheels dont usually have many problems. i am running a 17x9 +28 nd got about 5-10mm spare to the coilovers. have u thought about trying nismo wheel studs with around a 15mm spacer or something?

Yeh tell me bout it!its an RS4S yeh we were thinking about getting longer wheel studs but it's all work lol I know it's not that hard but it's still a hassle.

Thanks so much for your reply :thanks:

Offset?

If you are getting bigger brakes, don't bother with these. You will never fit them over the larger calipers.

Stock RS wheels are 17x7 so these will easily fit if the offset is satisfactory.

One last thing. Try to keep the wheels and tyres the same size all round.

I know the Z33's and V35's of the world generally have wider rear tyres, but that is because they are RWD cars.

FRONT

Size: 17x7.5Offset: +30mmWeight: 23.26lbsTire: 225/50/17BackSize: 17x8.0Offset: +33mmWeight: 24.14lbsTire: 235/50/17

These are the offsets for these 350z wheels I have found another pair in black

can any one tell us if they will be good for M35 stagea maybe the back pair is better than front for our car?

Any help would be great .Also shouldn't they fit Brembro brakes in stag as the 350z had them installed ?

Edited by bazr

hate to revive an old thread but the question seems a better fit here than other or a new thread:

will wheels off a 350Z fit an M35 stagea?

while I'd like to go to 18's these are for sale and look great:

Fronts 17 x 7 1\2 inch

Rears 17 x 8 inch

Comes with Set of Bridgestone Potenzas - Not Fitted

225 45 R17 x 4 70 - 80% Tread

Size: 17x7.5Offset: +30mmWeight: 23.26lbsTire: 225/50/17BackSize: 17x8.0Offset: +33mmWeight: 24.14lbsTire: 235/50/17

Any good? Front or back pair better for m35?

Rears are a better size.

However, Your much better off with a set of square 350z 18 inch Track rims. They come up for sale fairly regularly, and are not that expensive. The V35 version has the same sizes, but a different design. 17s are just too small. Get at least some 18s and higher profile tyres to suit. These wheels are great if your on a budget.

18x8 +30

Got them fitted last night, they are 350Z 18s - no problems with atessa, rear may need to be rolled just to be on the safe side.

Hi everyone,

Just wanting some help if possible. I have been a long time reader on here but have only just signed up as I really would like to know if a particular rim would fit my RS4 Stagea........ Can someone tell me if the rims in the link will fit my car? Better make sure they will fit before I click the 'buy it now' etc. Thanks in advance :)

I actually wanted the Nismo LMGT4s but I have been told they won't fit??

Edited by MissDayz

You typed rs4 so I'm going to assume auto, they will fit the rear but I would recommend spacers on the front to correct the 20mm offset difference.

I don't think they will fill your guards that well but I'm pretty sure they will fit.

MissDayz - I recommend going at least an 8 inch width. I had 18x7.5 with +42 offset and they were under the recommended track width (measuremen from wheel to wheel across the car). This pic shows how far in the arch they sit.

post-72216-0-22958600-1334882567_thumb.jpg

Oh, I dont think they will be right for me then as I would prefer to fill the guards out and will be getting cool overs etc.

Any suggestions for rims? I would ideally like to get Nismo rims.... Anyone know of a Nismo rim to suit?

Problem is I don't really want to do too many mods and stuffing around..... Trying to just find rims that will fit best.

Thanks for the replies do far, really appreciate the help.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • 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/
