Whittie Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 16x8 +10 offset. Looking at getting a set as they're fairly cheap and not as common as watanabe knock-offs. Hoping theyll fit with stock spring perches but willing to put small spacers in to clear. The big front brakes and i THINK the discs in the rear have added some offset which is why i think they should fit. quick photoshop of them on my car. I like them. A lot. What do people think? Anyone actually got them on a zed or got any photos of a set on a z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 KTM has them on his car. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=135545 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't know if the 16x8 +10s are common though. I believe that they were a manufactured for a group buy. Rota's website does not list a 16x8, much less anything lower than +30. http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittie Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 That looks awesome ktm!! They were hard to get however Rota have since started remanufacturing them since they took off as drift rims for wide body s13's and AE86's, which is the 16x8+10 size. I can't find the website i was looking at last night but they had a list of about 20 differant sizes and offsets that you could get the Grid's in, from 16-19 inches diameter, 6-10 inch width and a whole range of offsets. In aus that i can find, the ONLY size you can get the Grids is 16x8+10, and a set for only about $1100 AU to boot that puts them in competion with the rota rb's, minilites and XXR's and they look better than all of them put together, so im pretty happy about that. How was the fit on your car ktm, what suspension do you have? Looks lke it doesnt rub anything, do you need spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have the Tokico HP blues and springs. I am running 10 mm spacers in the front and none in the rears, but I did trim the spring perches in both. My tires are what rub with 245/50s. A lower profile tire may not rub nearly as much or at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittie Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thanks for that. Ive got 225's mounted on the race rims i run and nothing rubs with those, so the 225 tire will be what i go for, its good to know that a small spacer will make sure it all clears nicely though.

silverdirt Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i run 225's on mine and have to run a spacer up front just to clear the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittie Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Silverdirt, is that the Rota wheels or just 225 rubber? I can't quite understand if the wheel is hitting the brake or if the tyre is hitting the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Whittie, I can tell you that S12/W calipers require the spacer to clear the wheels themselves. I also needed the spacers to help with my tire clearance (245/50). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittie Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thanks ktm. I have the Holden Commodore/ Ford XR8 (Aussie) upgrade and they fit under standard 14's so i should be fine. Doing some work on the car later in 2010 and unsure if i'm still going to get these. They look amazing, but i have 3 sets of wheels already...
