Stagea Wheel Dimensions?

[BMX666]

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.

[BMX666]

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.

[GH05T]

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.

[BMX666]

After seeing mine I'll never go narrower than 245. Its about the perfect amount of stretch for me. Good luck. Hope it all works out. Keep us posted.

[GH05T]

will do

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.

[GH05T]

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

They will

What camber arms did you get

[GH05T]

when i can find someone to supply them to me, the Racehard bushed type

[Gdaymate123]

would this size dimension fit on a 260rs stagea? 18x9 114.3x5

[GH05T]

missing the most important number which is the offset

[Dobo]

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

[Dobo]

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.

[GH05T]

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

Front

Rear

however as you know im worried about the strut clearance.

fronts clears everything as far as i can tell

the rears are not

remember this is in the air

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.

[GH05T]

still, ...mmmmm

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..

[GH05T]

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.
