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.

the issue is that you are looking at an example of a car with stock pogo sticks.

therefore in that example:

- the height is standard, meaning next to no negative camber = more clearance

- standard struts are skinnier than the threaded versions of height adjustable coilovers = more clearance

pete used to run 18x9.5+12 on his rs4-s but had 5mm spacers behind them to reduce the amount of time the inner lip spent hobnobbing the struts

Be interesting to see where they sit on the rears on the out side all spaced out. I will be fun fitting my 10+15 on was hoping to tun a with 10mm spacer .i don't mind running camber so hopefully squeez them in ;)

should be able to tuck them, ill post the clearance with the camber arms and tires so i can load them up properly.

this is what my other wheel did scraping the strut

9.5 does have some width to it though :D

you should be apples, Jase.

my old setup was very similar with the narrower cradle (I was running 18x9.5+0 with a 235/40 and -0.5 degree camber). you won't be wanting any camber with the numbers you'll be trying to feed through the tyres haha

RS-Four autos (whether s1 or s2, it doesn't matter) have a wider rear subframe than factory manuals, so it'd be a tight fit without a fair bit of camber. I've had 18x9.5 +15s on mine as a trial fitment and the rears stuck out around 15mm.

Looking at some 19x8.5 +28 fronts and some 19x9.5 +42. Will these fit? And what tyre recommendations do people have. Not fussed if I have to run a spacer just need to know what size?? Going on a rs4s

=42 will require 25mm spacers at least to clear your suspension. Personally I was very happy with my 17 x 9 on my lowered suspension - meant I could have some decent tyres (255 40). I have gone to 18s to try to get a little taller gearing but if you run 19s you will have very thin (30 aspect) tyres which are not very street friendly.

Second pic shows a set of Nissan 18s (which I reckon are plenty big enough)I trialled before I got my current CE28Ns:

These wheels were to nice to let up. So I need to figure out what I need to fit them. Happy with a bit of stretch look. And I don't mind buying hubcentric spacers. Just need advice on what size spacers and what size tires to keep the rolling diameter close? Help appreciated.

If you have bought these wheels you are going to have to do some work because I doubt anyone has the same combination of diameter, widths and offset to be able to tell you exactly what you need.

What I can tell you is that getting the same rolling diameter front and rear (I assume you have the Atessa awd) is the hard part - never mind your speedo - that's not that important.

In order to achieve that you will need staggered fitment e.g.

Nitto Invo (which I am using as an example as I have just put some on my car) front 225 35 19 rear 265 30 19. With the spacers needed to clear your suspension the rears at least will not fit in your guards so you will have to undertake some serious modification.

Just read through all pages of this thread over two days.. a lot of the same info.. im after the same set of wheels as someone else has posted on here.. rota grids 19x9.5 +20 (http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=130578005418&alt=web) with 235/35 tires. For a 2000rs4s According to this: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=215&aspect=50&diameter=17&wheelwidth=7&offset=30&width2=235&aspect2=35&diameter2=19&wheelwidth2=9.5&offset2=20#content

They are 22mm closer to the strut and 42mm more poke than the stock rs4s 17s with the same rolling radius. I dont mind using a small spacer on the rear but would like to keep the front spacer free at least. Preferably want the front and back flush to the guards.. maybe a little poke. Does this seem like a fairly safe bet? Im reading it will just want to be as sure as I can. No suspension mods yet but will be getting bc br coilovers at some point. Seems like (with most things) itll work with some and not others and is more of a trial and error type thing.. Maybe someone in the marion area in adelaide will let me trial fit their wheels? (Pm me if you can). Cheers guys

Post a car you would like it to looks like. Offset is turning into one of those subjective things. People with scribbley tats and ear vaginas think scraping the road with their subframe and pulling their arches out is mad cool.

While the others with a wife, three kids and a mortgage, living the dream.... might want some more practicality, but still have a decent looking car.

Realistically.

Somewhere between +18 to +30, depending on how much tyre you want to put on them.

    • 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.
