New Wheels for GTUs
What's up guys,
I got some custom offset Rota D2's ordered for my FC to clear coilovers and remain staggered width front to rear.
17x7.5 +30 and 17x8.5 +35

Those are nice, but with coilovers you can probably run the 8.5" all around with some 245/40/17's on all corners for a good handling balance.
Have you tried putting the 8.5's on the front to see how they fit?

Thanks guys,
Also with coilovers, in my experience with macpherson applications, you will lose backspacing. I know for a fact with my FC i lost backspacing when going to coilovers. Before I could run 8" +35 front, but with coils I had to drop it to 8.0" +30. Since these D2's don't come 8.0", I had them done in 7.5's.
For the 8.5 to clear coils in the front, with coilovers, i've always estimated a +25 offset.
I have a set of FD wheels for that tho.
Thanks, Rishie

No sorry, just black. I had to order 80 wheels to get them this way. I'm down to just two sets left in Black. Oddly enough the MR2 guys bought all of em, even tho i made them for my FC peoples.
