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.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
