ROTA Grids on my FD...
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.

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.

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.
