Thinking about Rotas - Offset Suggestion?

[Speedfreak]

They are growing on me. I should have bough Steve Hill's Volks!

I'll see if I can get Chris Johnson to let me try on his 17x8 +35s. I think id prefer the more flush look.


Mo, can you fit 255s on a 17x8 +40 without issue on a 1g?

I'm not sure, but based on post #2 in this thread, it would seem like it should work well. My first set of wheels for the dsm are 17x8 +40 and there were no issues. However the tires were only 225's, so who knows what will happen with 255's.

Only 3500 miles on everything, everything is in awesome shape

For about the 100th time, current/updated pics would be nice :)


And I have been eyeing up a TCE/Wilwood kit. Mmmm.

I got me some rotas too. 17x9 +25 on a 1g and it sticks out of my fenders about half an inch to an inch. I don't really mind it.

I tried on some borrowed shoes from Chris. 17x8 Rota Torques +35 with a 235 tire. They stick out my front fender about 1/2". I really don't like the look. I think a +40 would be nice and flush. BUT. I had enough clearance to side my fingers + Mechanix gloves between my coilover spring seat and the tire. So maybe under 1"? I'm worried a +40 might be too close (with a 245). Maybe I'll have to find out!
