[kgmdawg84]

Hai guys! lol

I just recently sold my srt and decided to get a car with some actual aftermarket support and options on modding haha

I picked out the wheels ill be ordering (Rota P45r's) 18x9.5" all around



and the only thing im not sure of, is what offset i should be ordering, if im going to need spacers, etc

the car im picking up has tein basic coilovers installed on it... im assuming im going to need my fenders rolled for those wheels to look good? haha

these are the 18x9.5 listings and their offsets

18 x 9.5 5 x 114.3 +2018 x 9.5 5 x 114.3 +3018 x 9.5 5 x 114.3 +4818 x 9.5 5 x 114.3 +2518 x 9.5 5 x 114.3 +1218 x 9.5 5 x 114.3 +3519 x 8.5 5 x 114.3 +25

come on veteran 240 guys, help a new owner out before i order my wheels

thanks in advance!

I don't know if you're talking about s13 or s14 fitment, so here's links for both:

s14http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/347356

Basically... get the +15 offset. When you place your order, it would be great if you could post where you ordered from, the shipped price and if they had wheel/tire deals. Happy shopping!

thanks alot man!

i was thinking about the +15, but didnt know if it would fit right, etc

and its an s14

im more than likely going to order from subydude/wheeldude what he is now haha

any specific tire you guys recommend? i was going to go with a toyo proxes 4 or something similar

so in conclusion... P45R's 18x9.5 +15 will fit with no spacers needed, and ill probably get a fender roll just to be safe haha

edit: i dont see a +15 in the 18x9.5 5x114.3

[simmode1]

Oooooh. Fiiiiiive luuuuug.... You might be screwed. J/K. You'll just need to rock whatever the 350Z's roll, I guess (whatever that is!)

You can go with the less aggressive (aka weaksauce +25) or you can get the +12 in 5 lug. If you look in the wheel fitment thread, you'll see that both s13's and s14's can pull off 18x9.5+12 just fine. Will need a pull though.

And if you're getting really low, take your fender off and tuck your wiring harness before your new fitment eats it and kills your car!

[kgmdawg84]

thanks for the advice man

what about the +20 offset? thats not too bad right?

that will need just a fender roll right?

[simmode1]

Should be fine. That's a lower offset than LMGT4s and those fit fine. To be honest though... Just get the ones you really want and do whateva you gotta do to make dem hoes fit! lol

[kgmdawg84]

if that was the case, i wouldnt be buying rotas LOL

i would be buying gold advan rg2's but im not baller right now, im a broke college kid buahaha

18x9.5 +20 will not fit in the front. With a 9.5 in the front, the highest offset you can have and clear the coilover is a +16. Go for the +12's all around.

Ahh, it's kinda sad, these wheels are so hot, but everyone is getting them...

True, but everyone seems to just be getting the bronze ones... There is still some hope to be a little different...

[musashin]

Haha, yeah, but the bronze ones are the hottest ones. So, yeah.

[simmode1]

I so don't get this bronze wheel trend...
