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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
