I know by searching the forums to know that Rota wheels are not held in too high a regard but, I have a limited budget right now (till the kids graduate) and I have got to get some new wheels. So the ones I have chosen are the P45R's. What I need to know is what offsets to run. The 9's are available in a +25 offset and the 9.5's are available in +30 and +12 offsets.

A little info on my car. Its a 92 coupe with Tein HA's on there. Stock control arms both front and rear. Just some adj toe bars up front.I have the stock 4 lug pattern on my car now and will run this way for the next couple of years and will be running 17's till I can really afford to switch everything.

All I am asking is what I can feasibly get away with running on my lil toy. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Here's the info on them. http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=31

can't really help but i have seen plenty of 240s rolling on staggered Sportmax wheels. im pretty sure its 9" rear and 8" front widths. at least for 17" wheels. these were on "stock" s13s. what i mean is they had no widebody fenders or rolling done to the fenders. they're pretty affordable too, but not lightweight by any means.. i think i saw 23lbs a piece somewheres, i dont remember.

I'm not going XXR-Sportmax. I sell them and they really have nothing I want right now. The P45R's are what I am going to run just need to figure out what offsets to use on this particular car.

Here are some pics of 17x9 +28 on my car 255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear. Front fenders just needed a "tug" to cover nicely and the rears were rolled. Please excuse the paint job, it looks much nicer now.

Thanks for posting pics. Do you have any from the side of the front wheel?

the thread I posted is to give an idea on what wheel and tire sizes would look like mounted.
