ROTA wheels- decision time
#202
Im looking around on tire rack and was wondering wich tires would be good in the 205/50-15 size, but i read this size wont fit for the front, SO, where do i find 195/50-15 size tires? im not seeing much on tirerack

Hey Guys- could not get in contact with Rota today- will try tomorrow & let you guys know the latest news
I had both Sumitomo 195/50-15 HTRZ & HTR4 tires on my old '85 se- they both had good grip & slowly broke loose at the limit in dry weather- the HTR4 had better wet weather grip than the HTRZ- I might pick up the HTRZ again- cant go wrong with the price. here is a link:

10mm offset?
I would like to run these tires on my SA with the 15x7 Rota DT's.
It looks like about 10mm offset would be needed to clear the strut. Any comments?

wheel & tire fit
The info at this site suggests a 205/50 would fit and maybe 215 or 225 depending on the specific tire.

I just hope they get the +10 offset right or else the tires will be limited by the gap between the suspension and the tire. The stock +18 will not allow the 205 tires.

Hey Guys! Just wanted to post quickly that I have been trying to get in contact with Rota these last couple of days with no luck- seems the factory is slow in responding to my questions- the rep told me that it will be much faster if we ordered the RB wheels since they were designed for RWD applications- I still prefer the GT3 & the JSPL wheels- I will see what answers I get today & let everyone know shortly- thanks for being patient guys!

-me-RB
-camocarl - Put me down for a set of RB's if you can get them in 15x7. Can we choose the offset? My pick would be 0"
-boog - "i think we all have a.d.d. lol im actually into the rb also, ; )"
-rbf41182gt - "just RB (in 15x7 or 15x8) or GT-3 for me. "
-kill no cone - maybe?
-mazdo - "if the RB wheels will be available in 15's then I will DEFINATELY jump on them."
yay, lets go! RB 15x7 0 offset! (carl, what would you suggest on 15x8 for offset in the back?)

Okay guys. I was interested, then jumped out becuase my car came with Enkei's... now that I've rolled them for a while, I think I'd rather go with a nice NEW set of wheels that are 'less common" so I'm in for a set... I'm not sure 100% what I like so far... I think a set of J.SPL's or the PanaSport relicas?
How far away from having these things are we? I'm not going to read through 15 pages of votes.
