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

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
