nazar Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I am considering the rota d2 wheels, kinda clean lookin and they have our bolt pattern, 4x114.3 They have 17x8.5 with +25 offset HOw will this fit inside and outside fender? I was considering 255/45/17 tires out back , and 245/45/17 in front or something in that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I was looking at these for my s13. Nice looking wheels. I think a tire on an 8.5" wide wheel with 0 offset will clear the OEM springs, and the fender lip. Not by much so I would say you would need 25mm spacers or coilovers and not quite as big of a spacer. 25mm is a 1" spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I had an 8", zero offset wheel with 245 wide tires on them, and only had about 3/8" between the section width and the springs and body sheetmetal (OEM body and springs). 8 1/2" with 25 mm offset would not work on the S30 with OEM springs, and I believe a coilover arrangement will be marginal with this 5 3/4" back spacing.

slownrusty Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 You will need a 25mm spacer to bring them back to a zero offset...strongly recommended...+25 offset will more tham likely rub in the front. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazar Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 i thought + offset means they still out further? The offset is +25, not -25....or am i confused? So a 25mm spacer will push them out another inch, im assuming this will push a 8.5" wheel past the fendder? This is good because i am getting ZG flares and i want to fill them in...thats why i was thinking of a 275/40/17 tire all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would give him 0.125 space on each side of tire. Plenty of room. If you get these I would go coilovers and 25mm spacer. That should give you enough room between the tire and spring and be nice and flush to fender may need a slight roll, but you are going with flares and that changes everything. Listen to blueovalz he knows what he is talking about. I am just guesstimating I have never had a wheel this wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
