Rota Grid 18x9.5s all around?

[MobMotorsports]

I know wheel fitment questions on here suck but I really dig these.

Will 18x9.5 Rota Grids fit all around with spacers? Thinking with some 235/40 Winter tires.

I am by no means an expert on the subject, but I think they may be too wide. Great looking wheel though.

[Harepower]

Too wide.

[fouckhest]

Too wide.

negative ghostrider....

im running 9.5" all the way around on my R....daily...dropped on its nuts

[MobMotorsports]

Nice. Specs and pics?

more details are needed, ET, and the tires please? You have no rubbing?
my 235/40/18 BFG G-force sports have no more than 3/4" celarance from the rear struts.
I'm on 18x 8.5" rims, stock suspension with Bilstein HD struts, no spacers, and I do not have room for an extra 5mm to run w/o rubbing.

I;m certain the "dropped on it's nuts" is a factor here.

So without your info I can still say you cannot safely run 9.5" rims w/o spacers and fender rolling or without severely aletered suspension.

thanks mate....

wheels are 18x9.5 et 30...after spacers, finals are et24 & et10

read above....plus i will add nothing crazy done to the suspension....just spun down, no perches in rear...fenders rolled up front....215/40s all around....its ALL about the offsets

and running stretched tires, and spacers, and fender rolling anything is possible with some work. Seems to defeat the purpose of the car to me, but to each our own.

[MobMotorsports]

So would the Rotas fit?

I agree your ride sits perfect.

[fouckhest]

but to each our own.

agreed...my R is my daily...if i want to go fast i have another car for that

yes, in theory, they will fit, just depends on the tires, spacers in relation to how low you want to be....

thanks

With these wheels I think you'd be better served to run them a bit more narrow with a lower offset to get the concave effect. Vice wider with a higher offset and less concavity. Just my .02

[MobMotorsports]

Good point but those are pretty deep. Check out the photos lower on the page.

They will fit with some 215/40/18's and 20mm spacers. You will also need to be low and have rolled fenders to pull them off.

20mm spacers?! He's gonna have mexi poke up front

[DarkSideGTI]

18x9.5 et18

Pulling off the grids nicely.

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE...!!!

[RubMyDub2004]

I spoke for a long time with Zoeb about trying to get a few sets of these to fit out cars properly. As of now it takes A LOT of fitment tweaks to get the fronts to fit. Due to our set up the fronts would poke an INSANE amount. I remember one member in UK running them for a bit. But he had body work done to pull the fenders out.

fouckhest yes you are running 9.5 all around.. but you didn't take in account your offset IS FAR different from these.

I had thought about doing was running a custom staggered set up of the 8.5 grids up front and the 9.5 or new 10s in the rear.

[MobMotorsports]

I think youre right. 8.5s in the front and 10s in the rear may be the best option here.

[xbluewaterx]

Yep just make sure you get the correct offset.

[RubMyDub2004]

I literally have NO clearance between my coils and my wheels.. with a 18x9 +35 and a 5 mm spacer.

I can email Zoeb and see what he has in the factory for a staggered set up in the same color. Hopefully he can pull out the 2 different sizes.

guys it can be done...just depends on how badly you want to run the wheels...my buddy mike olson has been running them all year...same wheels....9.5" all 4 corners

[MobMotorsports]

Well that answers that. He's even running the ECS Stg5 big brake kit and 225/40s.

[RubMyDub2004]

I already said it CAN be done and that is has, didn't say you couldn't. I just said it would be easier not too, Te et38 is helpful, with a 5mm spacer you could do it with a fender roll and slight pull, but 225s.. no 235, they might rub the coil.

WTF... seat the bead much?


Suspension travel? none.. Cornering capability? None.. Pothole survivability? None.. Stereo-typing the mee too, trend following kid that you are? Perfect..

All offenses with no apologies, that is retarded!!

[xbluewaterx]

to the last post that was great Josh.

see below.....for the record i drove the car to OCMD from SC like that and had no issues....so have fun with your stereo-typing

...my R is my daily...if i want to go fast i have another car for that

[PowerDubs]

Wow, it survived driving down the highway in the summer? I'm impressed. Not as much as your other 20-something friends who like to hang out in parking lots and pop hoods.

im just going to leave that comment alone....you are obviously one of the famous vortex "i know all types"....

have fun knowing it all

[xVolksR32x]

im pretty sure he is saying its not a daily driver. However you claimed that you dd it. All bs aside it looks like it doesnt fit right. Float your boat however you like though

its alright p dubs hates everyone who doesnt track their R, btw doesnt a reg gti/golf like the 20th pictured and mike's have different clearances than the R? ie a 9.5 wheel with 20 offset on a gti would be flush to the fender and on a R it would poke?
