m1ghtymaxXx Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I just installed 15x9, 0 offset Rota Shakotans with 225/50's. I'm just running Eibachs and Tokico blues, and I needed an 8mm spacer for the tire to clear the spring perch (5mm just barely cleared, but I suspect it would have rubbed when cornering). Both front and rears poke maybe 3/4" or so at the top of the fender. I haven't had any rubbing, and I just autocrossed on these wheels on a somewhat bumpy surface. Of course if you're looking to dump your car, you'd need a pretty sever stretch and stiff springs to keep your rubber inside the fenders, but the moderate stretch of the 225's should allow me to go a further inch or so lower when I get around to coilovers. I'll try and remember to post pics after work. Pic as promised: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

415DZ Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Pic as promised: I have the same sized tires on my 15x9 rears. Yours looks slightly more stretched than mine tho. Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1ghtymaxXx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I've got Megan coilovers to drop it, but Autocross is the priority this year, and I don't expect the Megans to offer much benefit in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib_juan_kenobi_240z Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Has anyone used the shakotan wheels with the s12w (toyota 4x4) calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
