[Mk2] [Turbo] Check out my ROTA's =) (pic heavy)

Post by Razor04 »

Got my 17" Rota torque drift's fitted today, they're staggered 8" on the front et35 and 9" on the rear et30
running Kuhmo ecsta tyres 215's front & 235's rear 40 profile gives a nice stretched look.

I like the rims :D Time for a little drop on the suspension though :-k Also, stretched look is good for euro boxes.....Not Jap cars :eye:

I have the same prob on mine at the front though :whistle: I can't get the right size tyres to clear my struts. ](*,)

Nice and aggressive looking - awesome :thumleft:

Does it clear without rubbing at the rear with the aid of that stretched tyre?

Have'nt had any scrub yet at all, i thought the fronts were gonna scrub on full lock but we checked it out lock to lock on the ramps and on the ground after fitting had good clerance all round

the rears look like they could contact the arch just y'know, but i think the 235 40 tyres on the rear roll away inwards with a bit of a stretch.

i think any wider tyres and it'd need an arch roll.

this staggered combo can be had from driftworks for £510 (wheels only)
thats a chuffin bargain :thumleft:

Looks good, but are you not worried about ROTAs bad reputation?

i did see a thread a while back about rota's breaking up, someone posted some pics of a few wheels that had the spokes breakaway from the rims, etc,

have'nt seen any bad press on the GTR's, Torques or slipstreams yet though.

cost was the deciding factor for me, could'nt justify 800-1k on wheels at the mo. A tad over 500 for staggered 8's & 9's jdm rims was too good to resist :D
