^^^18x10+30? Should fit 285 rubber under stock rear fenders. Gangster.

From what we've seen/heard from the UK & U.S. distributors so far, I'd bet it's only a matter of time better these make it to North America...

Really, I wonder how long? I found a brand new set of hyper black 18x10 +30 5x114.3 that I'm suppose to pull the trigger on just undecided if I want to convert to 5 LUG or not.

I was gonna go 5 lug to rock 10 inch wide wheels. But then I realized that there's no need to over-complicate my car with unneeded mods. 9.5 with a 245/40 tire is fine for my needs. I could go up to 275 if I want to, but I'd rather not. I prefer the look and steering response of a subtly stretched tire. As opposed to switching to wider rubber, I'd rather just get a more sticky compound.

With that reasoning, you gotta ask your self, what do your really need a 10+ inch wide wheel for? Even alot of JDM Time Attack Silvia's run 9.5's with rubber between 245 to 265...

XXR loves their +35 offsets. Not good for S-Chassis, but great for Z32's though! Cost and quality are bargain basement, but they can be pulled off like a star if you've got the vision for them, IMO...

Everybody know about the old XXR favorites like the 962's and 006's and the new models like the 521's and 522's. But no one seems to be messing with what is, IMO, the most creative wheel in this segment, the 507...



With changeable faces and lips in different finishes available, theres alot of different looks you could make for your car...

Do 18x9.5+35 all around. 255/35/18. Most XXR 18' wheels come in that size. No fender work needed.

So, I was reading the new Modified Magazine today with the Tuner Shootout coverage and I was kind of amused to see 3 out of 9 of the fastest Time Attack cars in the country rocking Rota Wheels. Just wanted to post this for the haters... :chuckle:

GST Motorsports Impreza L - rocking Torques, Grids and P45R's
Image
Image
Image

UMS Tuning EVO VIII - rocking 18x10 DPT's
Image
Image

AFI Turbo S2000 - also on DPT's
Image
Image

And don't even get me started on how many UK drifters are on Rotas!

^^^Those won't fit on a 240. Ford and Nissan's 4 lug patterns are different.

I was aware of that and that's why I posted a 5 lug wheel. If you scroll down they show the 5 lug options.
They look really good on this guys car.
