Yes, higher offset, the farther they go in.
That sucks you can't find any and I'm sure you tried this place -

I was going to sell my white Slipstreams (mint condition) locally to someone but let me check with him and see if he still wants them. If not they will be up for sale. I was going to get a different color in the spring since I don't like the white on white as much as I thought I would.

Yea that's actually where I got my wheels from. Thanks for the info man I really appreciate it alot I'm just gonna go ahead and order some 27mm spacers so they will be here when the wheels are. I guess it doesn't really matter tho my car is in the shop and will prolly be there til a little after christmas I'm just trying to get ready for next racing season

You need hub centric like these.

The other thing I worry about +45 is if the rears will clear without spacers. I would consider getting just one wheel and do a test fit. It should be fine plus you could verify the exact thickness of spacer you really need. You may find the front needs less of spacer.

That's good help man thanks for the info. Yea I'll prolly put the 20mm spacers I got on the rear to kinda even it out some. I honestly didn't know it was gonna be this much trouble or I would have just went with a small brake kit and 15s lol

If you already have the 20mm spacers, I'd try them first before you order the 27mm and see how much you really need. Yeah, these wheels can be a PITA but still cheaper than the small brake kit. I tried to find a light wheel that doesn't need spacers such as the RPF1 but it doesn't exist.

for anyone using the grids, the spacers have to be the pass through design with extended lugs, 22mm spacer.
someone correct me if im wrong, but the v2 spacers (ichiba) the OEM lugs/studs stick out past the spacer itself and the grids don't have the proper pattern on the inside of the rim to clear the OEM studs.

Rota basically told Discount to pound sand and said they don't make that wheel in a 5x114 BP in that finish. Rota then told the Discount Mgr. that he never asked for that finish when he ordered them even though I was standing right there when he did order on the phone. I could only get white or black. After 11 weeks of waiting and now being told they will never make that wheel in my BP with that finish, I canceled the order. I wasn't too happy.
So today I ordered a set of these:

16x7 Motegi Traklite +42
Around 12 lbs each
Not a huge fan of black wheels but I'm curious how they will fit over the factory brakes.
Also- I still have my white slipstreams for sale. I bought them back from Tobz but then decided to try this wheel for grins.
