put some new wheels on the 260 today,decided i was getting bored with the 18x8.5 bbs wheels so replaced them with Rota Fighters supplied by option 1 garage, 18x9.5 +20. next step will be to fit some coilovers and adjustable arms.

sorry bout the iphone pics.

The service form O1G was excellent, They had some brand new genuine Dayz carbon inserts for around the ac vents there if anyone is looking for them!

In terms of 'being legal' and meeting VSI, is fitting 245/40/18 on 18x8.5 on a s2 c34 auto okay?

Depends entirely on offset wheel poke and track change wise

Google tire size calculator or go to WWW.willtheyfit.com and chuck in your stock size

But probably yes but maybe a 235/40 will be closer

Thanks, Also found this http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/pdf/NCOP11_Section_LS_Tyres_Suspension_Steering_V2_1Jan_2011%20v3.pdf page 20+ refers to some legal fitment condtions.

Looks like i am good with my size. I just like to know sure for insurance purposes, incase they say, those tyres arnt legal, ur car isnt road worthy, no money for you.

Does that ever happen? Insurance claim denied because of unroadworthy vechile from mods like wheels?

Looking at upping tyre size on ours (along with a few other things), reckon 18x9 +20 with 265/35R18s will work under an S1 stag, without flaring? Can lip guards, happy to fit camber arms etc if need be.

245/40 will be a great deal cheaper being factory fitment to falcodores with 18's

Have 235/40R18 now so 245s are barely worth changing to. I do suspect I would notice the increase in front end grip with 265s.

Thanks Zorro, sounds like it will be a pretty safe option as I should have 10mm or so more clearance to the guard.

New Stagea owner and looking for some info on wheels.

would this size fit on my 2001 RS4S?

18 x 9.5, 5 x 114.3, +20

yes if you have coilovers and cambers arms on rear and you might wanna look into getting longer rear wheel studs...

Yeah should be pretty good

I think the flush figment for an Rs4s is 9.5 +12 so you wouldn't be far off there

Go back a few pages to see some examples as there were some recently

It will be the same figment as an 260rs too I think

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
