A couple of my s4 -> rs4 conversion progress

Post by nthusiastt » Thu Jun 24, 2010 12:14 pm

I was active on here a long while ago searching for wheel sizes but I finally chose a size after a lot of research.. Had to wait 4 months for Adv.1 to cad and build the wheels. I got a few shots finally of how the fitment will look minus about 2 deg of camber and a little fender rolling/pulling


ignore the red/silver.. Car will be repainted supra anthracite with a bronze flake.

3 peice step lip, concave, race lightening package. 19x10.5's front and rear with 275/30 re-11's

Surprised the wheels actually fit ?!

What offset are you running? And what brakes ?

I seem to have forgotten the offset :P

It took so long to figure out which offset to run. I couldn't measure because I didn't have the appropriate tools so I just began recording pictures of known wheel offset combo's and people that had noted their camber. After a solid 3 maybe 4 months I finally felt confident enough to order the wheels and I was only about 90% sure. That 10% is hugely unsettling when you're talking about a wheel that cost more than 1700$usd a peice. I'm really not looking to disclose the offsets. sorry.. Especially because soooo many people told me it couldn't be done.

Question: Are you going to end up with the turning circle of a sea-going oil tanker? Either way, here is your reps for going hardcore :thumbs:

lol, I probably lost about 15% of my turning radius. IMO though, as a car enthusiast, lateral grip is more important to me than turning radius :lol:

As a Londoner, a 15% loss in turning circle would have an exponential loss to my lateral grip on sanity. I currently have to perform a 6-point-turn for my 'home' parking space. Anyway enough of that, I've got a hardon for those Bridgy Potenza RE-11s, if I could get them over here, I'd have 'em, they look double hard.
Keep posting your progress and good luck.

Almost bought some 10J wheels yesterday with ET15, I figured they'd sit proud of the arch, so I'm going to order either 10J ET20 or 9.5J, to be safe...
