Rota Wheels with good fitment

[simmode1]

where can i get these.........CHROME

There's a link on the first page of this thread... But it seems like 4 lug Mustang wheels don't fit. That wheel and other hot Mustang styles are available in 5 lug at that same site though.

ya, I know you knew

but those sizes are flush on an s13. either way tho I dont think your buying wheels this week or right away. so I was just saying.................

........

........

Yeah, you're right. I'm not buying wheels right now, just planning and sharing info. What wheels are those in that pic? SSR Professors? Are the the same size as those Equips you showed?

I'm aiming for wheels that will allow me to run 235 tires up front and 255 tires out back on my s13 with a slight stretch. So I'm really just focusing on wheels at least 9 inches wide in the front and 10 inches wide in the back. Plus I want to be able to go up to 245f and 265/275r without getting new wheels once I start making more power.

Broadfield was able to run a 245 upfront on a 8.5 inch wheel for a very square tire look, but I want just a little stretch...

I'm aiming for 18x10 all around with 255 tires on the s14 though. A more simple setup...

I have a few personal reasons for not buying knockoffs. They hurt the community, they're proven to be weaker than the wheel they ripped off, and they're almost always a lot heavier.

This is a really good thread showing affordable but good wheels. I might have to refer back to it in the future.

ive been rocking my 18x9/10 +20 rota svn in matte black for about 4 months now...theyve been driven hard, respectably i cant say they have been tracked but cirtainly endured the same lateral g's as drifteting or time attack races. all in all for under $1k you cant get better fitment for an s14

here is my baby before i dropped the coil overs but i love the fitment regardless...245/40 up front 265/35 back

got them wen i went 5 lug

[240s-sex]

one more ha

[simmode1]

^^^ Nice! I can't believe those 18x10's stretched 265 tires like that!

Ever tried putting your 18x10's up front? I've seen similar setups, so it should fit...

haha no but the guy at the tire shop did try mountiing the 245 for the front on the rear...luckily i kept an eye out

as far as fitment goes im sure it would be possible

[Kalypso]

those look good.

sim im not sure the sizes on the blue coupe... have you been to Zilvia wheel fitment whore thread?

THESE J lines are.. 470 each 17 x 9.5/10 at any offset.



not cheap but not overpriced either.

[simmode1]

have you been to Zilvia wheel fitment whore thread?

Lol... I'm in it right now. It and rimtuck.com are my primary sources of fitment info. Although I mostly stay in the 'Maximum Tire/Rubber' thread...

I'm looking for a good example of an 18x10+20(ish) with good rubber up front on an s14...

[Kalypso]

figures

eventually a real sub 500$ wheel thread is in order.

the mods would sticky that. but not right now, im kinda lazy. but this was a good idea Sim

smart indeed.

Hell, I should just ask a Mod to retitle it exactly that.

Found what I was looking for. I wish more of these guys would post their setups at Rimtuck. I had to wade thru pages upon pages to find this...

Pricey wheels, but just wanted to show it can be done. GSRacer is a fitment GOD...

Guys these are my specs on a stock body with just pulls no body work at all ever performed

Front

18 by 10 + 18

I have ran 265/35/18 and 275/35/18 . Had to hammer the fronts tubs in so they wouldnt rub against the frame, plus i had to pull the front fenders about 10mm. I did one good and the other i messed up cause i was in a hurry. i can go lock to lock even with tein tie rod extenders .



Here you can see the one i messed up



Rears 18 by 11 + 18

Pulled about 30 + mm in total on stock quarters with no paint work.

I ran 285's for a while, the put 295s on and they rubbed so pulled some more then i was able to fit 315 azenis.

Here you can see the 295s rubbing before i pulled some more



After i pulled they didnt rub any more







Heres 315's on the stock body would rub from time to time which is ultimatly why i went wide body. plus they stuck out so much it was looking border line rediculous





295 vs 315 12.4 inch sectional width

Front coilover clearance on tein coils 18by 10 +18 with 265 tire . Rear coilover clearance is about an inch. no pic unfortunatly of the rear.



Another fitment Front te37 19 by 10.5 + 12 285/30/19





I got tons more of pics of all kinds of crazy wheels and tires but i think that gives everyone a good idea of what can and cant be fit. Enjoy

Dude is insane. Eventually he got front tubs and widebody fenders and runs 300+ series tires up front.

Hey whats up? is the white 240 in your sig rocking 17's or 18's?-Arash

18's. P45F's and R's

[Kalypso]

that car is indeed sick... very simple but mean looking

[legion]

I'm in love with the Work Emotion XD9's...or even the Emotion 11R's, but I need to know what the best offset would be for my Z32.

[Dittoz7]

Yea, Jerry's S14 Is Beast.

How It Looks And Sounds Now.

Sex. On. Wheels.

And im planning on getting 18x9.5+12rear /9+12 front. might do 17's... P45r's

[simmode1]

I'd go with 18x9+20 up front and 18x10+18 out back, for a mild setup.

If you want aggressive, 18x10+18 all around.

Expect to have some rolling/negative camber and possibly some pulling in your future, depending on what tire sizes you go with. I'd like something like 255/35/18 and 275/35/18. I think there are similar Z32 setups on Rimtuck.com...

Here's a pretty similar mild setup:http://www.rimtuck.com/setup.php?id=636

Here's a nice aggressive setup:http://www.rimtuck.com/setup.php?id=232

Pick whichever setup appeals to you most and get as close to these sizes and offsets as you can.

Yep. Straight beast mode. I wanna sell my s14 to do that same setup, but in a Z32 though...

[cole d]

So to get aggressive wheel setup you have to go with coilovers huh? I'm on lowering springs what's the widest rim I can get on my s13? I'm a honda dude so crazy offset is new to me. I'm actually considering rota grid in a 18x9 if I can get them to fit. I want to run 18x9 +30or 35F and 18x10 +35R

Will this work with lowering springs or will I have to get coilovers for this.

[simmode1]

Lol... these aren't crazy offsets... Crazy is when you're talking about negative offset...

The backside of that front wheel you listed will try to occupy the same space as your suspension. You'll want a lower offset or you'll want to run spacers to effectively create a lower offset. But I will never condone buying wheels that you know will need spacers. So, I'd say go with the 18x9.5+15 all around if you're still 4 lug.

But no matter what size wheel you get, its not gonna look good if you still have all that wheel gap. Get coilovers to eliminate the wheel gap first and then buy the wheels. Or do them at the same time...

On second thought, 18x9.5+15 is a good size, but I've heard from Pandapants that Rota will be releasing the Grids in wide 17 inch sizes soon. Wait until those come out. Maybe you can run something like 17x9+15 & 18x9.5+15. We'll have to keep our fingers crossed for their new sizes to be good...

[s13beast]

I LOVE this thread. Very little arguing too. Awesome. Il for sure use this as a reference when my sr swap is done. Thanks guys.

[Kalypso]

2100 at jspec... 18 x 10.5

[cole d]

A +15 offset is going to push the rim past the fender create contact issues right?

[mRodiek]

( it ok to be broke, as long as you have patience and dont rush and buy something corny or unstylish )

This is so true. This thread should have been created so long ago, its good to see that NICO hasnt entirely taken a turn for the worse.

[cole d]

Replica Mustang wheels... Aren't these TSW knockoffs?

Wait wait... 18x10+22 with a 5.5 inch lip?!

I like those wheels too especially with that monster lip. To bad they don't offer the offset I need.

I'm hoping to mount those in 18x10+22 all around on a 2+0 Z32 someday... But first things first... gotta get a Z32...

Oh and BTW... Those Godspeed Omegas are much cheaper if you buy them at: http://www.vqmotoring.com/whee....html

Yes, a +15 on a 9 - 9.5 inch wheel is going to poke past the fender a little bit. Pick your tire sizes properly, roll/pull, add some negative camber and slam. Boom. You've got a sexy car. Hit up Rimtuck.com for inspiration and knowledge.

I really don't want to pull the fender I don't mind rolling so what offset would you recommend ?

[GTR PrYdE]

This isn't on a 240, but they very well could be used for 5 luggers

I love my Rota's

Rota Grid 18x9.5 +20

[simmode1]

Find something 17x9+20 all around. Nice and easy.

Here ya go, GTR Pryde:All 18x10 Grids.
