17x7.5 rotas

[lilman1230]

okay i posted in the open discustion forum "by mistake" but i'm just wondering b/c after a couple of searches i haven't really seen anything cut and dry... i have a stock suspension setup except for tokico springs/illuminas.. and i'm wondering if 17x7.5 rotas with a 20mm offset will fit

[e_racer1999]

i know that should fit on a 510 no problem, not sure on a 240. are you wanting stock fenders or flares?

If you have Tokico springs and shocks, then it is not a stock suspension setup.

You will need a spacer with the 20 mm offset. What size I can not tell you as you need to figure that out for your application.

yeah guys thanks for the input.. i'm kinda nervous b/c i don't think i will be even trying to get these wheels to fit my car.. i think i'm just going to call 18gracing.com and send them back as soon as they get here and i find out that they wont fit

[lilman1230]

so only one rim came in today and i'm thinking that i will def have to get spacers for the front.. i already had spacers for my old mag wheels but i think i'll need thicker ones for these but the back looks like it might actually be ok i'm not sure but i'll keep you guys posted

In my investigation for wheel replacement, I've been cautioned by folks smarter'n me that zero offset is ideal for a non-flared, non-rolled fender.

FWIW

^true up until a certain width. i have 15x7s and i had to roll the lips. i still rub a little.

i didn't post this info b4 but i do drive a 280z not a 240 and i think the wheels might work with a 1/4 spacer in the front and none in the back.. i think my issue now is trying to get them to fit without rubbing on the fender lip

[lilman1230]

okay.... so i finally have the wheels installed on my car under STOCK fenders with only rubbing issues when i turn the wheels all the way to lock, they rub on the lower inner frame rail.. if i had more then a 1/4 SPACER it probly wouldn't rub at all.. also i had to get longer wheel studs for the front but the back is fine.. i have some pics uploaded up at hybridz.org i'll see if they will work here

[lilman1230]

let me know what you guys think

IMO they look huge and detract from the look of the car. Out of proportion you could say. Maybe drop the ride height by a inch or two could make a difference but for me, all I see in that pic is wheels.

I'd say that they look fine. However, you should try getting those bumper shocks off the back. I pulled them both out last night ( my gas tank is being repaired) and they're easy to get out once that thing's dropped ( a pain before).

They weigh 15 lbs. together.
