correct me if im wrong but if you go to a 9.5 width wheel you will need spacers in the front right? 15's i thought. a 17X9 or 18X9 would work perfect depending on whether your going to track the car or not. i would go with something a lil better and stronger than rotas but hey, i know how the money thing goes (im in the same boat) and the rotas look good. gl my man

Honestly, I would get a good quality rim in a 17x9 or 18x9 with an offset between +29 and +38. You only get what you pay for and I have seen Rota Wheels literally grenade on a track. I used to run a 17x9 Advan with 255/40 Z1's and loved em. Fitment was perfect. But I had the money and decided to go a little more aggressive with an 18x9 +29 and a 255/35 Z1 which still fits great. BTW, your bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and I don't think you need spacers with a 9.5 inch rim with the proper offset. Why do you want a 9.5 inch rim anyway? Do you plan to track?

running a spacer doesnt have to do with the rim width, its dependent on the offset and shape of the spokes. You can run the Advans in a +29 offset with no spacers but an RPF1 or NT03 in +38 will require 10mm or more to clear the calipers.

18/9.5 35mm 5 Zigen.........NO SPACERS NEEDED CLEARS BREMBOS FINE

275/35's all day long......285/30's w/ 4-5mm spacers (keep inner tire off the strut)

285/30 test fit....1mm between tire and strut....yes that is a business card in there..


This aint a lowrider stretch illusion from your latest show and shine thread....this is real meat to throw down real grip...I wish I had a pic of the 285 mounted on the back...it looks hella insane wide....with a 200 treadwear it would be a guaranteed killer lane changer/slot car.


If your not too low you could get away with this 285/30 combo and NOT RUB
