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.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
