So I'm in desperate need of some cheap decent looking wheels to replace the 40lb a piece peeling chrome monster 15x8 wheels that came with my hatch. I plan for nicer wheels down the road probably but right now I just need something decent priced.

I landed on Rota Grids 16x8 +10 offset in hyper black. Bad thing is I've found through searching that you can't fit Z32 brakes with them due to the spoke design.

My question is what is the minimum sized spacer that a person would need to run to get the clearance needed to make the Grids fit?

Well I can't say for SURE but, I had a friend try his grids on my car(with z brakes) to see the clearances. The problem with the grids is the inner diameter(the flat spot where the hub bolts up) is too big. I actually had 15mm spacers on my front to try and if I remember correctly it barely fit.

I might pick up a friends Advan SA3Rs with tires for about the same price that new rotas would cost, so I'm hoping to go that route. I'd still like to know for certain since I love Grid/TE37/57s looking wheels.

You know the Advans will be better.
