Stagea Wheel Dimensions?


thedriver

Recommended Posts

put some new wheels on the 260 today,decided i was getting bored with the 18x8.5 bbs wheels so replaced them with Rota Fighters supplied by option 1 garage, 18x9.5 +20. next step will be to fit some coilovers and adjustable arms.

sorry bout the iphone pics.

The service form O1G was excellent, They had some brand new genuine Dayz carbon inserts for around the ac vents there if anyone is looking for them!

In terms of 'being legal' and meeting VSI, is fitting 245/40/18 on 18x8.5 on a s2 c34 auto okay?

Depends entirely on offset wheel poke and track change wise

Google tire size calculator or go to WWW.willtheyfit.com and chuck in your stock size

But probably yes but maybe a 235/40 will be closer

Thanks, Also found this http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/pdf/NCOP11_Section_LS_Tyres_Suspension_Steering_V2_1Jan_2011%20v3.pdf page 20+ refers to some legal fitment condtions.

Looks like i am good with my size. I just like to know sure for insurance purposes, incase they say, those tyres arnt legal, ur car isnt road worthy, no money for you.

Does that ever happen? Insurance claim denied because of unroadworthy vechile from mods like wheels?

Looking at upping tyre size on ours (along with a few other things), reckon 18x9 +20 with 265/35R18s will work under an S1 stag, without flaring? Can lip guards, happy to fit camber arms etc if need be.

Floody Im running 18x9.5 +14 on my s1, with 255/35 going to 265/35 soon. I had to roll the crap out of my guards (mainly the rear though)! If that heaps you at all!

245/40 will be a great deal cheaper being factory fitment to falcodores with 18's

Have 235/40R18 now so 245s are barely worth changing to. I do suspect I would notice the increase in front end grip with 265s.

Thanks Zorro, sounds like it will be a pretty safe option as I should have 10mm or so more clearance to the guard.

Yeah should be pretty good

I think the flush figment for an Rs4s is 9.5 +12 so you wouldn't be far off there

Go back a few pages to see some examples as there were some recently

It will be the same figment as an 260rs too I think

    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
    • That is a dead f**king short of B+ to ground. Scary.
    • 10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.
