T2 MSW Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 What ones you thinking of going with bud? It's between the grid drifts and the brand new fighter drifts but I need to ensure they will go over the front brakes before commiting does anyone have a pic of a supra with either wheel on, fighters is unlikely as it's not even on the web site yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This is always frustrating isn't it... Have you tried asking Rota what dimensions/clearance the wheels have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 so would you like me to remove your old wheels whilst your away ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 so would you like me to remove your old wheels whilst your away ? I'm safe in the knowledge they are tucked up in my garage at my house where you won't be .... Doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lexx Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Dont know what wheel companies are like down your way, but I know a few people local to me who would get Rota to send them one wheel to use to test fit. Revolution in Newcastle would certainly do it. Bit of a treck for you though. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 dont be so sure mike... its quite easy to get hold of 1 of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, I've tried all over the web for clearances, I'm hoping mr whiffin has a contact at rota we can get this info from, apparently the will accept returns but it will mean two orders and the uncertainty they will fit all fun and games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Quality mate, that's it mind made up. They will look ace in that black, you just watch rota say no now on the colour 10" rear and 295 r888's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus1 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Just double check the offset as we have GTR's and the maximum we can fit on the rears is 255's, any larger and they foul on the arches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I run +35 on a 9x18 with a 295/30, no rubbing at all, arches have been rolled though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 They come in +35 as well. Even if they do a +35 that will be very tight on the front with a 9.5 wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Fronts are an 8.5. That link is just for the colour, it's not those actual wheels I'm ordering I'm going for 8.5 +35 on the front and 10 +35 on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
