yeah, its worth the wait, but the wait is a sumbeech.

 

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:

i was thinking these......

kumho excta MX exreme performance summer tires

 

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?

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

I'm running 205/50/15s on all four corners.... No problems... tried running 225/50/15s in the rear... looked badass.... but rubbed....

 

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.

 

This is continued in Group Buy scetion

 

i posted this in the group buy section but i just wanted to make 100 percent sure
for my 8 gs, will 15x6.5 fit? or do i need to switch to the 15x7 gt3 wheels?

 

85*

 

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?)

 

Hey ApG Spaz- I did not get a response from Rota today- will call them tomorrow with the results- are you shure that a 15x7 wheel with 0 offset will fit our cars?

 

15 X 8 would be best with about -10 offset...

 

i changed my mind-

i think i'm going to stick with the GT-3's, 15x7

as long as they fit, i'll be happy

 

im going based on camocarls suggested offset. To me he seems like the wheel guru as far as first gens come, hehe

 

concur with above

 

For reference SA22C's are +20 offset
FB's if you have 4x110 PCD offset is the same as SA
If you have 4x114.3 +38/40 offset

 

ok so any news?keep me updated.

 

Id be interested in a fully polished set jspl. If its not too late ..Thanks

 

im sure its not too late. there havent been any orders placed, i dont believe.

 

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.

 

im out of this whole deal, i dont know where rotrmotr is but if you guys really want then you should email the dealer here and manu. in philipines

 

there's a thread in the group buy section- go there, that's where most of the action and serious people are
