ROTA Grids on my FD...
5 Attachment(s)
Just wanted to share my latest effort on giving my FD a different look...I decided I wanted to pursue a more aggressive fitment and went with a wheel to exagerate the look...these are 18 x 9.5" ROTA Grids with a +38 front offset and a +20 rear offset.....weight was measured at 22lbs per wheel.....Tires are Nitto 555's 225/40/18 stretched on the front and 235/40/18 out back....
www.Wheeldude.com is where I got them...Dan was very helpful and kept me updated through the entire process of getting them.....highly recommended. Attachment 721978 Attachment 721979 Attachment 721980 Attachment 721981 A little stretch... ;) Attachment 721982 |
looks good but since you're stretching it will look better if you tuck a little tire or lower the car more.
|
I like the look of those..it's too bad you wont have a little more rubber to put on the road for grip.

Looks good but based on your tire sizing you're obviously going for form over function...ok on a civic making 50rwhp, but on an FD...not the greatest idea in my opinion.
Different strokes for diff fokes...I like the wheel choice though. Good luck with it! |

Could you stop taking pictures at angles? It actually makes it harder to look at the fitment.
Just sayin you should get a DSLR for these types of shots. I think you should run a little more negative camber and more lower to get the stretched look perfect. |
yea....sorry for the angles.....and I dont own a good camera...waiting on a few friends that do.....just wanted to share!
.....ill be sure to get some straight on shots when I get lower... |
Your car looks very nice.
|
lower it more. you could have gotten the other +20 on the front. People on here hate to see agreesive fitment. anything less than a 265 on an Fd in supposely gonna kill you.
|
Better traction with 225's and 235's than 275's? Nice looking car though...
|
Aggressive fitment and stretching the tire are two separate aspects. ;)

It looks like you're running 19/18 stagger in this pic. 19's up front and 18's in the rear. I dunno. Something about it is off. Rest of the pics look good and 22lbs each for a cast wheel in that size is quite interesting. Car looks amazing and fitment aint bad at all. |

...and as for the 235's hooking better...I dont know...maybe its just having fresh rubber that makes it seem that way!...lol -Jack |

Ive been thinking of getting these same wheels for street use but I wanted to mount my spare set of 265/35/18 tires on all four corners. I dont know what offset I'll need for my tires to clear. I'm worried about the tire hitting the fenders going up driveways n stuff.
|
OK so a tip that will make them look even better. Just remove the Rota decal from the centercap and make your own, OR just remove them altogether. For some reason Rotas on a FD just doesn't seem right but I can totally respect the "value". Just seeing Rota there makes me feel weird. If you remove it I think i'll feel better. lol. jk.
Wan, for the rears this obviously wouldn't be a problem but up front it is unless you get some Feed front fenders. Then you can basically run the +38 front and rear. Otherwise with stock FD front fenders you'd still need a +48 offset or something in the 10" up front, rear isn't a problem with stock fenders and a minor roll. Rishie |
Love the wheels man, a little lower and you can get the "no fat chicks, car will scrape" sticker haha
