correct me if im wrong but if you go to a 9.5 width wheel you will need spacers in the front right? 15's i thought. a 17X9 or 18X9 would work perfect depending on whether your going to track the car or not. i would go with something a lil better and stronger than rotas but hey, i know how the money thing goes (im in the same boat) and the rotas look good. gl my man

 

thank you man its either the rota's or work wheels but like you said money is an issue so if iw as to go with 17x9's i shoudl be good wont need spacers i wanna run a 245-255 tire

 

Honestly, I would get a good quality rim in a 17x9 or 18x9 with an offset between +29 and +38. You only get what you pay for and I have seen Rota Wheels literally grenade on a track. I used to run a 17x9 Advan with 255/40 Z1's and loved em. Fitment was perfect. But I had the money and decided to go a little more aggressive with an 18x9 +29 and a 255/35 Z1 which still fits great. BTW, your bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and I don't think you need spacers with a 9.5 inch rim with the proper offset. Why do you want a 9.5 inch rim anyway? Do you plan to track?

 

running a spacer doesnt have to do with the rim width, its dependent on the offset and shape of the spokes. You can run the Advans in a +29 offset with no spacers but an RPF1 or NT03 in +38 will require 10mm or more to clear the calipers.

 

18/9.5 35mm 5 Zigen.........NO SPACERS NEEDED CLEARS BREMBOS FINE

275/35's all day long......285/30's w/ 4-5mm spacers (keep inner tire off the strut)

285/30 test fit....1mm between tire and strut....yes that is a business card in there..


This aint a lowrider stretch illusion from your latest show and shine thread....this is real meat to throw down real grip...I wish I had a pic of the 285 mounted on the back...it looks hella insane wide....with a 200 treadwear it would be a guaranteed killer lane changer/slot car.


If your not too low you could get away with this 285/30 combo and NOT RUB
