If they are 7+40 vs 9.5+12 you will have 4mm less inner clearence and extend out wards by 60mm

Shit.

This means on the rears on 18x9.5 +12 I would need to run maby a 15m spacer. That's not cool.

Surely sonething is not right here.

Has anyone else ran these specs on an rs4s

From this thread they seemed to be ideal specs...

This is what I'm getting with stock R34gtt wheels

You can see where it touches. Mainly going up a driveway on an angle when there is flex.

I'm assuming the specs for the R34gtt wheels are right. I got them from the skyline wheel specks thread, I will check the wheel itself tomorow when it's light.

Anyone else running 18x9.5 +12 on their rs4s who can check their strut clearence?

I thought gtt 34 where 7.5 et 40 which means you will gain 3mm clearance on the inside and a further 53 mm on out so yeah you will have to run spacers inner clearences to strut must be vastly diff on manual hmmm

gaining clearance is good....

gonna use some slipons for the time being...hopefully 8mm will be enough to clear.

it only touches when angeling spoon drains and driveways.

will check the offset when i get the wheels off at work today to confirm their specs

also im sure the lowering has added a little bit of camber which will be sucked out when i fit the new wheels

the kms i do anything other than 0-0 camber is madness

Edited by GH05T

Yeah lowering will add camber, and then with the slip on spacer and new wheels you should have over 12 mm inner clearence ;) will be fine a bit of extra poke out the back won't hurt anyway

ok stamped on the R34 wheels i can confirm is

17X7 JJ +40

so im going to loose a further 4mm clearance from the inside on the new wheels.

hmmm so 18X9.5+12 DO NOT FIT RS4-S stageas

when the new wheels arrive i will need to test fit them without tires and see what is going to need to be done to clear them to my liking and how much outer extension im going to get.

the wheels will naturally add 60mm (from the R34 wheels not stock stag wheels) and im assuming im going to need maby a 15mm hubcentric spacer to properly clear them.

maby less once the wheels lift the car a bit and the camber is taken out.

so spacers, roll the guards 235/40 tires, 0 camber and we should be ok, gonna look fat either way.

a tiny bit worried about the extra strain on the bearings but meh.

amazed that the issue was with the rears on the 4WD seing as i understand they have a narrower subframe (more like the R33gtr?? )

and the fronts are happy as larry.

yeah thats what i have been reading too.

well the truth will come out when they arrive i guessshould be early next week.

im hoping i have missed somethig, mis calculated something misread something, and they fit without further modification but i dont see how.

i cannot imagine the coilovers would make that much of a difference, they may be thicker but their is only so much difference they could make.

Well I'm perplexed jet r31 is running 9.5 + 20 on his auto with Bc coilovers "the rim to coilover should be the same between autos and manuals just the out side diffrent " he has 5to 6mm clearence at I think neg 2 camber so if we look at that you at 9.5+12 should have 8mm more clearence on the inside so a total of 13mm clear and stick out 8mm more but ya got heaps of rm that way :) !!!! Then if I look at me I'm attempting to run a 10+5 so

Just took a pic of mine for you (sorry it's sideways, uploading from phone and it rotated it). As you can see there's quite a bit of clearance with the stock shocks, I'd say a good 15mm. Obviously BC's are thicker though. I'm not sure how much but you can work that out. Mine is as stated earlier s2 rs4s running 18x9.5 +12 with 245 40's.

well wtf is goin on here. i cant work it out.

is their anything that could be different on my model?

1998 Series 2 RS4-S manual 4wd

everything looks stock appart from the BCs, unless my wheels have been tampered with...nah im just pulling at straws now.

i will be VERY interested when the wheels arrive for test fit.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
