240zBoy Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I love the way this car sits on these tires and would like help for me getting as close to possible. I already have the tokico struts and eibach springs installed along with toyota calipers in the front. From the pictures I believe these are Rota Rb's in hyper-black and in the 16in size. I also do not want to run flares. I have been searching and came across the rota Rb in the size of 16in with 114.3 bolt pattern and 8 inches wide and +4 offset. Now if all I would have to do is some minor fender rolling I would be pleased but no one here really runs the 16 (Or openly talks about it). So What I want to know is what it takes to run this wheel (Spacers, strut grinding, fender rolling) and what size of tire would be best. I am stuck between 205-225,45,16 but if anyone has run this wheel and had success with another size tire it would be sweet to here input.

70 Cam Guy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I have the 16x8 +4 RBR on my Z and they fit great. I have 205/50/16 General Exclaim UHP tires mounted on them and it clears the front strut by 1/4". I'm converting to coilovers so I am still running stock ride height. Fender clearance should not be an issue when I go lower. The +4 gives you more wriggle room than the others running a 16x8 +0 wheel like XXR Sportmax offers I think a 215/50/16 would still clear the strut but not sure about the 225/50. You'll want to check section and tread widths on the tires you're looking at. I chose the Generals because they're grippy, reasonably priced, great reviews/ratings on tire rack, and they were the lightest in the size I wanted. I'm at work right now so I don't have any pics. Here's my Flickr set with a couple Z photos, you can see fitment ok I am riding pretty high at the moment, I can nearly fit 3-4 fingers (my hand) between the top of the tire and front fender.

240zBoy Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Thanks a lot for the help. I think your car looks great with that combo and when you go coil overs or any type of a drop that thing is gonna be even more sexier. I am gonna be throwing down around 290-305 horsepower on the 350 so I think a 205 would be fine. My main issue was the fender cause I don't care about grinding a little metal off the strut. Any others out there keep em comin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
