Gonna be ordering a set of bro-tee-form nue, here pretty soon as a daily setup. Now I'm doing 18x8.5 et in the front with a 205/40/18, and the rears will be 18x9.5, so my question is do I get the et35 or just go ahead and get the lower et25 and run camber if I have to? I do want the extra 10mm concave, but if thats gonna be too aggressive I'll just get the 35et rears.
* rears will have 215/40, and all 4 will be nitto neogen(got a hell of a deal)

[BeauDennis]

do the 35.
its already gonna be pretty aggressive.

et35 for reference:

heres mine, 18x9.5 et35 all around with 215/40's

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

Hm wow, didn't think they'd have that much poke at 35:/ Oh well, now the question is, should I get 9.5" all around..

Drew's car is 9.5's all around, I just got rid of my 9.5 ET35's didn't much care for that wide of a wheel up front, had to drive too high, but i had semi-big tires. You should be good with your smaller tire.

Drew on air? I think I'm just gonna get 8.5" for the front.

nah he isn't that's his red car on the NUE's.

Ya I figured that's his. His name is only mkvdrew

Hm well I have a tough decision to make then, 8.5 or 9.5 for the fronts. Lol

Kevin: A gentleman at Rotiform informed me a while back that there is no concavity difference between et35 and et25 on the 18x9.5 NUE's. I would recommend getting the 35's and playing with spacers if needed.

[2tnicrbbt]

do staggered but I am biased.

This is true, there is no difference between the cast wheels.

That's what I was afraid of I'm gonna pm him and see how they get the 10mm then? Just a thicker back plate?

But ya got staggered, et35 front and rear. Like you said I'll use spacers if needed.

[motocaddy]

18x8 et21 -1* camber (working on more)
18x9 et28 -4* camber

[BeauDennis]

yes, drew is static. he is running 9.5's all around. and yes, when i called they said they used a thicker back pad. the only concavity difference is between 8.5's and 9.5's. i would do a staggered setup. 8.5 et35 and 9.5 et35. and, they will only mill the et35's down about 4mm for $50 a wheel.

So milling the et25 would make it et29... That's not out of the question...

[BeauDennis]

well the et25 can probably be milled more since it would be a thicker backpad. but, why would you spend $100 to mill them down 4mm when you can buy 4mm spacers and get away with running stock bolts.

Well I'm sure you know them that Rotiform wheels take conical seat, not ball which stock lugs are... It's gonna cost the same either way, lugs plus spacers or lugs plus milling.

17x9 et24 205/40s

Drew on air? I think I'm just gonna get 8.5" for the front.

I run the 18x8.5 et35 all around and even with my fronts rolled i still rub wheel face on the fender when aired out. I run 215/35 tires, but could probably get away with 205/40's.

IMO, the et35 fronts could have just 3mm shaved off for an et38 and they would tuck perfectly without any front camber.

18x8.5 et18 front and back...still have a lot of work to do with the suspension and camber. I'm told the et18 will be very difficult to pull of but we'll see what happens. Worst comes to worst I doesn't work out and I go with sometime else.

You can check out my "Wheel Build" here. Its nothing special but i want to show people and look for whatever help and tips i could find, I'd say I'm a slight noob

Olson, they look great, hope you can make them work!

I wasn't aware that they took conical. Didn't think about that. I don't own Rotiform wheels.

You can pick up used ones for pretty cheap.
Please explain why you are disagreeing so I don't feel stupid. haha

All aftermarket wheels are conical.

[giusep4]

All aftermarket wheels are conical.

i wouldnt say all, but a majority are

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

I think I'm going with studs anyhow, with polished long lug nuts. But ya most are conical seat, but some are still ball seat.
