Madvillan-- what size rim/tire are u using and what kind of drop kit? Are u using any wheel spacers? It looks really sexy

SPEEDYHANS

09-02-2009, 03:03 PM

Negative ghost rider.

The gold Rotas above are 18x9 +30.

The 25mm spacers are on his stock wheels that are now on his car.

And just so this post isn't off topic.

what size tires are they look stretched.

madvillian

09-03-2009, 12:39 AM

oh sorry, forgot that part. they weren't too stretched, but you could definitely fit fatter ones on there. they were 245/35/18 toyo t1r's. great tires, but the 35 sidewall was pretty brutal.

wastegate is correct, they were 18x9 +30, no spacers. they stuck out far enough haha, barely fit with a lot of fender rolling. im running bc coilovers at the max drop front and rear, and a lot of camber.

I had one of the first 5 sets of the ROTA Gforces in 18x9 and they only come in a +35 offset for that width (band)

Either way, it looks bad ass on a MS3. NICE JOB!

Judging by your screen name you probably had the 5x100 version which does come in at +35. The 5x114.3 version, what madvillian had, came in at +30. Here is the link to WheelDude's site where he ordered them.

thanks man.. but WHEN i get REAL te 37's i'm gonna get 18x8.5+40 with 245's hehe... i NEED to roll the fenders now, but its doable as long as i don't have any rear passengers, but will HAVE to with +40 volks.. just a matter of time

and i think it is a great fitment. not to aggressive where i have to roll and pull the fenders but flush enough

When is this going to happen? The day you order Volks is the day I order either 18x9 +40 mag blue te's or 18x9 +40 full polished ccw classics. Hope it's not soon, I just got new tires in the stock size, I would need to step up to at least a 225 on the 9 inch wheels.

depending on funds maybe next summer. either way i'm thinking of doing something in a different color next summer, maybe white with a cosmic blue lip

hoping i can find something used for around less than 18 or 2k for wheels

I will soon be able to be added to this list as I just got my rims the other day. Wont be going on till march or april though.. I still need to get tires! Im debating on either 235 or 245's. May just play it safe and go 235 but IDK... would getting 235 40 17's and then getting a 5mm spacer make the wheels stick out of the wheel well a lil bit more?

I asked the same question on TCL...general consensus was that it was OK for occasional use, but wouldn't be suggested for extensive track use.

WheelDude.com

02-02-2010, 04:35 PM

Before I forget to ask, I've heard (mainly from my best friend who is on numerous forums) that Rotas will tend to break from heat stress and whatnot. Confirming this, Rotas are not suggested for track or any "over-driving"?

this picture should answer your question ;)
