captain Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Owner says Rota Torque Drift in Gunmetal, just got a PM from him Front and rear 18 x 9.5 ET12. I reckon they look spot on. Anybody know if there are issues with having same size front and back? Quote
JT1703 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 9.5 et 12 on the front will look chunky Not sure about any issues with running the same width front & back .. they car was designed to run with a different offset front & back so I'm sure there is a reason for it Quote
Digsy Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 If you keep the stagger with the tyres you should be OK. Quote
Ian Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 If you keep the stagger with the tyres you should be OK. +1 But a few people have run a square setup with no issues also Quote
Chris`I Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 If you keep the stagger with the tyres you should be OK. +1 But a few people have run a square setup with no issues also +2 daily driving you wont notice a difference, but on the track you might if you dont keep the tyres staggered. I beleive the base wheels in the States have a non-staggered setup all round, but given the vast majority do, I would keep the staggers with the tyres. RareRims will be able to help with respect to if you can get a true staggered setup in the right offset Quote
ersen.o Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 ive got 9.5j all round, 255/40 front (0.24% out from oem 225/45) 275/40 rear (0.08% out from oem 245/45) I done so much research and figured thsi was the best way to keep everything perfect for a staggered setup and it looks and handles great EDIT: btw this is for widest tyres u can get on a 9.5j while keeping stagger, u can do thicker wall and smaller width but that just looks sissy on a 350z Quote
nrenz123 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Here's the pic you asked for mate, hope its what you wanted. Quote
Zee Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 they look the nadgers, wouldnt mind a set on my GM Quote
Steady Zeddy Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 A rear offset of ET12 will def rub on the arch. I have a set of Rotas I use for trackdays (et18) and they rubbed on the rear arch (lowered on Tein coilovers) before getting the arches rolled. My mate has a set of Rotas with an ET12 on the rear (OE suspension) and they rub a LOT. Quote
nrenz123 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 They are et12 in 18 with 275 rear tyre and i get no rubbing whatsoever, not even over massive speed bumps. Quote
captain Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Here's the pic you asked for mate, hope its what you wanted. Thanks for that. This back wheels malarky is driving me mad. The design is perfect but they don't do a 19" in flat black which would be my "perfect" wheel. Any ideas out there?? Quote
captain Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 Anybody? Looking for 18 or 19" flat black rims (with no red lips ) as similar as possible to the Rota Torque Drifts. Budget £800 - £900 Quote
Stew Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Anybody? Looking for 18 or 19" flat black rims (with no red lips ) as similar as possible to the Rota Torque Drifts. Budget £800 - £900 Thats not a million miles away from Rota money.... Quote

Budget £800 - £900 Thats not a million miles away from Rota money.... Not sure I understand Stew. I like the Drifts and they are about £850. Price is fine but I would prefer them in flat black and 19" - which they don't do. Mind you, after seeing this piccie I'm close to buying them. Of course these are the original Works wheels. Quote
