for reference

17x9 +37 had about 3mm of clearance to stock struts

so i'd say you'd want a 15mm spacer on the rear (about 13mm more inset than the 17x9), maybe 20mm, but then you'll probably be poking out the guards

and as said before, you need the same tyres all round

so stretch 245's onto the 11's or run 265's on the 9's (latter is probably better)

the different rotational speeds

ecu sees rears going faster/slower than the fronts and tries to help you out

Then its welcome to surge city!

Mine was doing when one of my rears was slightly more worn than the other

It's rolling diameter !!! Tyer wear would not be enough to trip it, currently I run staggered sets on all my stagea's but as long as you run close enough to the same rolling diameter you'll have no probs

Example 1 19x8.5 and 19x9 running 235 40 18s all round

Example 2 18x8 with 225 40 and 18x9 235 40

Example 3 18 x9.5 with 235 40 and 18x10 265 35

Plus I've had other sets on the car that have all worked out with no surging . Like I said just get close as with in rolling diameter and you will be right

To be honest i think its fine as long as the rears are bigger than the fronts

100% my atessa gauge was creeping up when on the highway (nearing 10 on the gauge)

I changed 1 tyre and its fine now

Also the car was surging at 100km/h

I found this - had 2 tyres replaced on the front for RWC and got some serious surging issues - chucked them on the back and its aok

tyres dont need to be the same just the rolliang diameter does :)

Ok so using the pirfect wheel specs for an Rs4S

18X9.5 +12 all round

what tire profile do you recomend?

i will most probably roll the guard lips for comfort, i just want it to tuck in nicely, obviously beinf 4wd the front and rears need to be the same.

might get a mate to fit a 235 on on, see what the stretch is like, still unsure of brand so it will depend.

coilovers arrived otday so gonna drop it and see what sort of cavity im looking at

ok i seem to be getting idfferent information from different wheel calculator sites, can some one help me out with some dimensions.

CII Rs4-S c34

it currently has R34gtt wheels fitted which i beleive are

17X7+40

as they are from a RWD R34 they sit quite far in the guards.

just fitted my BC coilovers and when going over bbumps when the wheel cambers in the rim touches the coilover thread.

static it is a few MM off.

its the rears which are touching on bumps, the fronts are fine.

i am going to use maby an 8-10mm spacer to solve the issue but the new wheels are on they way and im confused as to weather they will foul aswell.

they will be

18X9.5 +12

one site sais i will loose inner clearance and another sais it will gain so im not sure.

The wheels should be stamped with their size somewhere inside them, they usually are. I'm guessing they're +30, not +40 offset. An offset of +40 is usually for FWD cars.

Are you using an online tyre calculator? There are plenty around if you do a Google search.

well they are R34 GTT stock wheels which from searching on SAU seem ot be +40

i am using online tire calculators which is where im getting the conflicting information from.

does anyone know of one which they would trust?

had the exact same problem, but both my rears where bold and my front where 95%, and started surging aroudn the 90km/h mark, and the gauge had about 10% i removed the plug under the dash that brought the 4wd light on and limpt home (130km's)

    • 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.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
