I have 16x8 rota grid, I came to find out they don't fit my 30mm calipers. so I'm looking for some other 16x8 wheel that would. Does anyone know of any? I have two sets of R comp tires that fit 16x8, also its a SOHC so another reason I dont want to go 17. TIA.

*edit*

****it, im selling my r compound tires, open to all sizes now, but the lowest priced wheel that clears my 30mm calipers! im seriously frustrated. they just need to be good drift wheels and priced well, rightnow im really considering 5ZIGEN fn01r, but is there anything cheaper?

If you like those rims, you could run a small spacer, or you could try grinding down the lettering on the front for more space.

Thanks for input, its not the offset thats not letting the wheel clear, but it is actually the hub of the wheel is too large of diameter so i don't think i can sand that down i like the wheels alot tho how they look and are light, kinda bitter they won't fit. 4 lug too. Anyone know if sportmax 501 or 002 will clear?
