Rota Grid Question.

[ImolaVeeDub]

I'm currently on stock 20th suspension but got a deal on these wheels I couldn't pass up. Wheels are 18x9.5 all around and I'm running a 15mm spacer up front just to clear the strut. The poke looks stupid. My question is will I ever get these to sit flush after coils? I know I'll have more room up front once the oem suspension is out. But I do not know if I will still need the spacer or what size I should go after the coils are installed.

Thanks all

Thought this may help

No, and after you put your coils on, you may find you have less room than before. Good job buying before checking if it fits decently. Man up for fender work, or get something else.

Woah there chief, just a question lol. Fat tires and fender work up and coming

I think the grids look dope! Poke is Awsome. That's not that bad...form over function baby.

You can definately make them work, i've seen it on a lot of 20ths... I have rota grids myself but theyre only 17x9.

Stretched tires & rolled/pulled fenders is key (as with any wide wheel)

^ 100 truth.

[FWD SUCKS]

once you get coilovers, they should look pretty clean

[t-cel2GLI]

what offset are you running? just curious cause i was looking at a on ebay and didnt want to jump in with out a reference

[dblock]

I belive there 32 or 38. But you got a 9.5" wide wheel so they're pretty aggressive. Did you need hub centric adapters to run them?

this was when i was on vmaxx coils and i just rolled my fenders

[syurc07]

im running 17x9 and after spacers they are an et of 20 and an et of 10. all i have is rolled fenders and they worked out just fine

How much were your adapters? Not to get off subject, just interested for future reference.

I didnt need adapters (if you were asking me).. i used 5x100 spacers from ecs tuning... im not sure what they run i had them come with my car when i bought it

[syurc07]

I do plan on getting hubcentric rings in the very near future... i didnt expect these wheels to work out with fitment the first time i put them on but luckily they did... when i get those ill keep u posted

[dblock]

5x100 adapters for the center bore difference right? How wide are the adapters?

right now im only lug centric.. i dont have any hub rings or adapters... the wheel spacers i have were only hubcentric to OEM wheels.. thats why ill be getting hub rings in the near future. and ill be getting the hub rings to make up the difference in the hub bore size.... therefore, after rings ill be hubcentric again these wheels that i bought have a hub bore size of 73.1 .. im not sure how that differs from stock (will be doing my research soon)

[dblock]

Stock is 57.1 that's why I ask.

right right... hubcentric rings/adapters whichever u wanna call them should definately be used

[dblock]

You get any vibration or anything since you aren't hub centric?

Yes a little after like 65/70... nothing bad though... i thought it was gonna be worse.

If I ran 215/35 tires on these, what size and kind spacers should I get? I wanted to go 18mm front 23mm rear, but I don't want to dish out so much $ for custom spacers. I guess 10mm and 15mm non-hubcentric spacers don't work? I don't even understand the hubcentric what not.. I'm spacer/adapter-retarded, so any advice helps...

[syurc07]

mine are 17x9, et of 35, with 10mm spacers in the front and 17.5 spacer in the rear (15 mm spacer is what im looking to get for the rear) and mine sit perfectly (well, perfectly how i want them) I only have rolled fenders and dont have any worries of messing my fenders up

hubcentric rings are really cheap and worth the lack of vibration you'll get with them. what they do is fill in the gap between your stock size hub and the hub size of the after market wheels (my grids have a 73.1 hub bore)

[syurc07]

oh i forgot to add im running a 215 40 17 size tire

[klove614]

Would hub-centric only spacers work fine? Or do I actually need wheel-centric spacers?

[syurc07]

well hub centric spacers (that i know of) are only hub centric to stock wheels. for example, when i had the aristos on my wheel spacers from ECS fit perfectly in the hub bore of the OEM wheel... but they are no where close to fitting properly in the hub bore of the rota grid

Get the spacers you need(hub centric to stock...57.1) then get hub centric rings ..57.1 to 73.1...and put them on the spacers.!!

^ that.

[klove614]

^ that.

How do I go about figuring this out? I was about to order custom spacers from wheeladapter.com, didn't know I had to find hub centric rings separately and find out the correct size

[2.8 guy]

So confusing

Offsets, spacers, hub centric, can be confusing but once you have everything in front of you it will make sense and you'll be all the wiser next time!!
