Stagea Wheel Dimensions?

[StageaTypeS]

RS4s wheels are 17 x 7.5 +30 I just replaced mine recently. Don't have them anymore as I sold them so I can't be much help on the measurement side of things.

what are you running now and what are your clearances?

If you have a look on page 8 there is some pics of my car there with rims on it. In terms of fitment my guards are standard e.g. no rolling. The front outside edge of the rim is pretty much flush with the guard. The rear is in ever so slightly, maybe 10mm. On the inside I reckon I have close to an inch of clearance from the inside of the wheel to the shock body. The overall height of my wheels is near enough identical to the 215/50/17 inch tyres I had on the car before.

I could have my car alot lower without any clearance issues, I used to have it alot lower on my 17's but i kept scraping the underneath when going into the driveway and over speed humps so I raised it about an inch. Heres a couple of pics

(FYI I run Greddy coilovers so not sure how this would compare to standard struts).

im looking at buying a rs4s and ive got a set of rims in mind that are 19x8 with +35 offset, do you think i'll have issues? or will they sit too far in, eg look crap

it's probably pretty clear by now that my wheel fitement standards are a little more agressive than the majority of you blokes and that by my standards they really will look sunken to all buggery

look at petes white rs4s a few posts back, the wheels you are looking at will sit 39mm in from them :S inner clearance will be about the same

[EGA41T]

hmmmm

i just looked them up and it appears they will extend out further than the standard rims by an ENTIRE 1mm !!!

but the rims im looking at dont seem to be available in a smaller offset

anyone else running on aftermarket wheels that only just extend out or are the same as the standard rims??? .....with pics???

what were you looking at?

if you REALLY want them, but don't like how they sit you can always run spacers..

just remember.. true fitment is achieved without spacers!!

at the moment im looking at either Konig - Hotswap Silver or Vault Crystal, both are 19 x 8 with +35 offset. also considering the vaults in 20 x 8.5 +35 but im not sure if they will foul the strut

Vault Crystal

each to their own i suppose

Great to hear Andy.

Mikey is going to help me fit something to the yellow pig soon....when they are in stock so if you want to come over and share a beer and wave your hands around and point while I flounder around you are more than welcome.

[EGA41T]

Lol sounds awesome, when is this happening? Would be great to catch up, pm me ur number

[floody]

Well the other set of rims sold before we could grab them.

Missus is keen on XT7s; 18x9.5" +20 with 225/40s should be alright with mild lipping ? (S1 Dayz)

[M I K E]

yes, depends how you like your wheels to fit though as they will be on the aggressive side. have a look at the pics of mine - essentially fit identicle. i would run 235/40's on them though

[floody]

Aggressive is ok, long as I don't have to run 10kg coils like my other car to keep tyres off guards, lol!

The other car (off topic)...
