I will be very honest...I am not a fan of ROTAS...but your car looks good. As others said...if you go aggressive offset, you need to LOWER the car for the full effect.

I just hope I'm also lucky finding the right wheels for my car.

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.

Thanks. I'm still on stock fenders and I dont want to get wider fenders just to fit some wheels. My track setup is 18x9.5 +50 SSR GT2 w/ 265/35s all around. It works perfect but I rarely drive the car on the street because I dont want to risk getting a nail or something in my track tires. I was looking at Rota's for street use and to mount my spare street tires on.

Word. That's what I like about Rota. You can call them up and get just about any size and offset and the quality is pretty decent I think compared to their competitors.

Yeah interesting translation but you gotta give him props for trying. I've said some crazy stuff in Japanese before: "hop-pe" is a brand of beer "Hop-pai" is *****, very easy to confuse when you're ordering what you want!

important question

I love these wheels and have been wanting to put these on my Fd and i know the +38 is the biggest offset they come in so my question is will these fit up front with out a spacer or is a spacer used to make these work and is there fender rolling involved to fit these or is that all dependant on the tire ran? if i could get an asnwer that would absolutly amazing, my Fd Is down bc well no tread and washington state wet roads around a corner, well it seems to blow the beed right off your tire! so sooner the better! i really appreciate it guys!
