Of course, but most cars and drivers can get away with a shitty cast rim, depending on the design. But our cars are 2T high performance wagon with (sometimes) crazy people behind the wheel. :P

That said, my set of 17 inch drifteks have taken 5 or 6 track days without cracking or damage, even running sticky race rubber. I made sure I didn't hit any ripple strips though...

Ok Scotty, I'm with you.. Honestly, for the next 3 yrs or so, this car is just daily, street only. I'l probably get the newer model then when they are compliance approved.
Also, I don't have a pare $2-3K to spend on wheels so, honestly speaking, I just want it to look sweet and ride nice.

on your previous point about front wheels and offset, can you please be blunt for me... what should the offset be on front compared to rear for wheels to fit inside the guards?

jebus, really, all round?...well that opens up a whole lot of dish options, that makes me kinda happy.

yeah im used to skylines when anything under 25 = mexican.

what is standard rs4s specs?.....sorry being lazy,

it seems they are 17X7.5 +40...... are you sure 18x9.5x12 wouldnt stick out?

sorry im not the best with offsets on the fly.....ok , being lazy again...checked a calculator, +15mm on a 9.5 means the inner clearence will stay the same and the outer will extend out by 50mm...your right, thanks for the help

I'm pretty sure the stock wheels are only 7 wide.

18x9.5 +12 fit perfect on my rs4s at standard height. With some low and a touch of camber they'd fit even better. I was going to upload a pic but I can't on my phone.

The fronts would need a massive spacer 30 0dd mm

And the back for that mater on a rs4s , on my old auto cradle I ran a 9 +14 but a manual cradle is 25mm per side shorter

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
