Stagea Wheel Dimensions?

[lilcrash]

If I find a rim that is 18x8 +42, will that suit all round?

18x8 +10ish all round for a manual and 18x8 +10ish front and + 30ish rear for an auto.

[MissDayz]

Sorry, yeah she is an auto.....

I shall start looking at my options then. Around $4k to spend including rubber.

[bentwagon]

Best go to some wheel places and get them to try different sizes on so you can see how it looks - most places are pretty good. Have fun.

[MissDayz]

Actually, I should do that.....

Take some pics etc and make a decision after looking over the pics too...

For some reason I keep thinking I would just buy them online and then have them fitted in town.

[MissDayz]

That guide is great - thanks bentwagon

[180fan]

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.

If you want to fill the guards a bit then something like R34 GTR wheels might be a better bet, they are 18x9+30. They come up for sale on this site every now and then.

Alternately you could probably find a set of Nismo LMGT4's in a similar size to that, however since they are discontinued it may take a bit of searching to find good condition ones in the right size for the right price.

As bentwagon said, see if you can get some wheel places to trial fit some different wheels on your car, it will give you a bit better idea of what you are looking for.

This is 18x9+18 on a s1 automatic, so you can see you do have a decent amount of room to play with if you want to fill the guards.

These are my TE37s 17x9 30 offset with 20mm spacers front and 255 40 17 tyres:

[MissDayz]

I actually like both those rims pictured............

But I am after 18s, so 180fan - Is that your car? If so, did you have to lower the car, roll the guards or use spacers for them rims? and for it to sit like that? I am guessing you'd have to lower it, but what else have you had to do?

Where can I get those rims? I do like them.

[180fan]

Yeah its my car. The rims are Volk Racing GT-7's, i bought them used from JImports, a business who bring in heaps of different parts from Japan. I havent seen many sets of them for sale since I bought my ones, if you wanted to try and find some i think your best chance would be looking through Yahoo Japan auctions for them. Check out www.importmonster.com.au, it will let you search through the auctions for all sorts of things and will also translate it to english.

The car is lowered on coilovers, the rear guards have been rolled, but not the front ones. Not using any spacers, the front wheels could actually be spaced out about 15-20mm because of how much room the c34 front guards have, i just havent ever gotten around to doing it. Tyres are 235/40, i have had the wheels on for almost 2 years now and havent had any scrubbing problems or anything like that.

[MissDayz]

Awesome, I had looked at that website before and now that I know what size I am needing, should be all go from here.

Thanks for all the info, it's very much appreciated.

i have some for sale but fit rwd.

[MissDayz]

Hey, do you have a pic?

[Raysboostin]

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??

http://www.ebay.com....b#ht_2030wt_911

if somebody told u LMGT4's wont fit they are high! if you just buy a set that is 9inches all round they'll fit fine. you want an offset somewhere close to +20 all round give or take 5mm

[darrinspencer]

Ray I disagree

Are you quoting a auto or manual stagea 9 inch +20 all round?

If you look at Kiwirs4t photo he has 17x9 +30 on an "auto" and the rears are already hanging out the guards

If you go +20 or +15 you will be hanging out even more.

LMGT4 may or not fit..........it depends what caliper clearance they are......like Disk "A" or "B" or "C" etc.

[Speaky03]

Just a quick one, will Drift teks 17 x 9, 5 x 114.3 with a +15 offset fit a s2 auto rs4v?

thanks

Joe

[import_zone]

no, will be fine on front with camber but not on rear, for the auto would go +25 limit, even +20 would be pushing it. unless u get a smaller rear cradle

[Speaky03]

Okay so something like 17 x 9 + 34 would fit fine?

[import_zone]

yea, +30 fits with no comber perfectly in line with gaurds. so use that as a guide

[Speaky03]

Brilliant, I will keep looking around. Thanks for the info

Joe

[airbox]

can anyone tell me what offset I need to fit a series 1 rsv with gtst brakes fitted please? I had to put 6mm spacers on the front so the original 16" wheels would fit. cheers
