Mine is a 2000 but I highly doubt that would make any difference. If you go back a heap of pages there's a s2 rs4s running 18x10 +15 with coilovers. That's even less clearance than 9.5 +12 and he doesn't seem to have an issue. Maybe pm him?

at this point all i can do it get the wheels here and fit them up, see what happens and fingers crossed.

if they dont fit i will probably ask someone with an RS4S to trial fit on theire car to see whats different.

Good place to start I'd say. And also 235 won't really give you any more clearance than 245. Both are stretched do they'll angle away from the rim edge, but they're both still locked into the rim at the bead which means theoretically they would be the same. Get my point? Just depends on how much stretch and how much road contact you want I guess. Just another thing to think about.

yeah, havnt decided on the tire size yet, all going to depend if i need to run spacers on a wheel which will sit 60 mm out from where im at now and the guard fitment becomes an issue,

a little streatch is good for look sbut i dont want stupidity, eitherway the tire wont be what will contact with the strut.

I have 19x9.5 +12s all 'round, with 245s, 35 profile I think and coilovers on a 99 rs4s.

Perfect guard clearance and a couple of mm on the strut in the rear.

Was pretty sketchy when i ordered them.

Have had them on the car for 20000k now, no dramas....

Mind you, mines not as low as yours, so not as much rear camber pulling the top of the rim in closer.

I had trouble getting standard skyline rims (V35) to fit without spacers to get rego.

I ended up having to use some scabby R32 rims on for rego.

wheels should arrive soon, i was hoping today.

i have been doing some more digging.

firstly:

Can anyone CONFIRM for me the width of the standard R34 GTT 17" wheels

cannot seem to confirm if they are 17X7+40 or 17X7.5+40??

7.5 =]

which means i will be gaining clearance.

also i have been mashing through the 55 page stag suspension thread.

realising i have several degrees of - camber. i am ordering camber arms which will straighten the wheels back up and give more clearence from the strut again so this should be fine, they should fit without spacers.

i hope :ph34r:

It must be the camber you've got because I'm also running 18x9.5 +12's with 245 45's and no issue at all. stock suspension with nismo springs

is that to me?

new wheels noton yet but yes the camber must be my issue at the moment as the current wheels fitted beffore the coilovers went in. camber arms and new wheels this week i hope

yeah sorry i was replying to you ghost. That's interesting to know if i go adjustable suspension later on, that i'll be limited my my wheels. food for thought.

hope you get it all sorted.

OOOOK

test fitted the wheels today and if it does fit its gonna be seriously snug.

ok so outsude fitment is going to be nice

Rear

however as you know im worried about the strut clearance.

fronts clears everything as far as i can tell

IMAG2104_zpsd19596f4.jpg

the rears are not

remember this is in the air

IMAG2103_zps9071e7dd.jpg

IMAG2102_zps58ffdbe8.jpg

i cant fit my finger between them.

ok so the camber is the first issue

this WILL be fixed with camber arms

as it is the hub falls 10mm inwards when loaded up

their is NO way these work without spacers with the current camber arms.

im going to need to run no camber and see if it clears over bumps and around corners.

failing that spacers then slight camber into the guards

tires go on soon and camber arms should rock up any day now.

will roll the lips and hope i wont need to pull the inner guards out.

I came across the same problem i had 245/40/18 tyres on 18x9.5 offset 20 on rs4s rear and once i had the suspension underload the tyres use to scrap the coilovers, you could set the camber to almost no camber at all, but personally it looks too weird for me, so i ended up getting longer nismo wheel studs, spaced out the wheel and getting the camber right and 225/40 tyres..

Edited by shotpointblank

im going 235/40 tires, i really didnt want to go spacers, i really didnt.

hoping i take some caber away and run about -1deg and it wont touch under load.

under load now it gains f**king heaps of camber with the stock arms

im so confused, noone with an RS4S with 18X9.5 +12 has had this little clearance. why mine?

i.e.

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.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
