Should fit pretty well, may be slightly outside the guards depending on camber, I think 245/40 r18 is the average size everyone uses. I've got 235/35 r18 and they are too small for the speedo.

alright cheers for that mate. will go with the 245/40s. hopefully fitting matte black work xd9s on a white stag.

I think you'll find they look quite awesome. :thumbsup:

Get some pics up; stat.

yeah I've decided on some grids in flat black that are 18x9.5 +20 for now with 245/40s. should look tuff on white. just so keen to get the car already and don't like the stockies! ;)

I plan the have it for awhile so I'll start with the slightly cheaper set first and throw a bit more at some other goodies! it's coming with zeal adjustable coils and nismo exhaust system.

Post a pic once u get them

Correction

Im looking at getting some rota gtr-d 18x9.5 +25 for my 260rs! Will they fit without guard rolling

+12 would fit better from what I've seen on here, same fitment as an rs4s, go back a few pages

these would fit on mine nicely so ive been told without and rolling or lipping.

this was exactly what i may get, if i do get some it will be from these guys, only $99 shipping for the whole set. and i was looking at 245/40 proxes 4 tyres.

i could be changing my mind again and getting some 33 or 34 gtr rims!

rethinking of getting these actually, in hyper black with the polished lip :)

9.5 +12 with 245s fit about perfect on my RS4S.

No scrubbing and and no guard work, I can put a wheel on my driveway at full lock with no worries.

If i am picky the front is a little wide but the rear is spot on.

My car is daily low, so two fingers to tyre on 19s.

+25 will be tight on the strut at the rear depending on the diameter of your strut.

nice. you reckon a +20 offset same width and tyres should fit about the same?

How much is guard rolling? My 260 is still standard height but will be getting coilovers and adjustable camber arms eventually

i have 19x8.5 Koya Endless rims with 235/35's on my rs4s with a +12 offset and lots of low. the rear tyres tuck up nice, the fronts needed rolling because the tyres just scrubbed at full lock. be warned, even at +12 and 235 wide, when i put somthign heavy in the back, i scrubbed the whole inside wall off my tyre on my coilover upper nut.... and my tyres have a very curved sidewall, so be carful of camber when lowering :D i learnt the hard way.

G'day everyone. Just after your opinion... I got a golden ARX and the original ARX wheels are way too much inside the guards, so I was looking for larger set of wheels to fill those massive arches and stick out a bit more - if not the wheel in line with the guard then as close as possible.

Bumped into these Speedy Chitah 19x8.5 +35 in Adelaide:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/354186-for-sale-thread/page__st__8300

So the question is do you think these will fit ARX and more importantly will they look good? How deep inside the arch they will seat?

Thanks in advance for your help.

+35 is too large, especially for an ARX. What you should look for are lower offset wheels, so they sit further out of the guards.

Disagree, I have 19x9 +45 with 10mm spacers (effectively making them a +35 offset) on my RX. I reckon that 9" wide with a +30-35 is about perfect (but I am not into the stretched look) for an RS/RX. Maybe another 5-10mm for the ARX/Axis?

I have a problem I thought you could fit 18x10-7 under standard guards

Will be putting in a s14 Rear Cradle which will bring the track in 20mm making them fit

That will help -then get the right size tyres and push the guards out a little and you will be looking good!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
