Get these for 5spoke wheels (they are probably lighter than the ones you posted):http://www.projectwo.net/images/roadcar/enkei-rp01.jpg

Enkei RP01

you can roughly fit them in the rear if minimum offset is +20.

you're gonna end up stretching your tire though.

as for the fronts, i don't know. need to roll them fenders.

ask RETurboII. he has an aggressive wheel set up.

i usually base my decisions on this website... http://fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/RT/rims.htm

the best thing is to ask folks who have the same or similar set up that you're aiming for.

OP's wheels are cool, but, I'm not a Rota fan. Lets see a pic of your FC.

Not much racing going on there. Just saying.

I would love a set of Enkies for track days, but thats all I'd like them for, and if im gonna spend the money I would take the time to fine some nice Advan RGs. There's a bazillion wheels out there, you don't have to settle.

Robs_Kouki, I think you would like these pictures:

If it's die cast. The first speed bump you go too fast will crack it :D

Michael Knight 02-06-09 11:53 AM

Get a 240. LOL , JK. those are gAnGsTa! Good luck fitting 9.5's up front. In the rear no probs. For that super tyte 240 drifter stretch you need to put some Federal 595 175's on those things!

Robs_Kouki 02-06-09 12:17 PM

That S14 Is By-far Sweet. On My Rota's You think 225 Front And 235 Rear Would Be Dope???

Battle Cat 02-06-09 01:37 PM

i say dont settle for knock offs and dont get 18s. thats too much for fc. unless your going for that drifter vip look.

17 would be much more suitable.

neofreak 02-06-09 01:56 PM

rota = fail
