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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    • 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/
