cheers mitch im struggling to find rota ts in that offset though? as for 17" im thinking its abit small when your running hovercraft style kits with the wings and quarters wouldnt want them to look lost

a few weeks ago one of my mates who wants to get into drifting was drooling at the end of your drive rang me up all in a fluster saying im looking at the rudest s13 lol i told him to piss off before you came out he said youd have a shock when you catch him knocking one off over it

Haha

Jord is running 17's and it doesn't look bad, though he's not got wide arches..

I want something like Andy F's front wheels, but need 8 of them.

i would prefer dish myself tbh also 17s would be better for getting tyres i rape the tyre piles all the time and 18s are harder to come by 17s come home every visit lol

with 20mm wide wings and a 9.5j rim on the front(with 3degs camber) youl need an et 10 to make it look any where near good, i got all of the above with et-10 on the front.

Rear, with a 50mm wing and a 9.5j rim you want at least an et 0 to make it look ok, again i have all the above and run et-20.

Rota dont make any rims near that so you will need spacers

Rims are 18" 9.5j et30 all round, i run a 50mm spacer on the rear and a 20mm spacer on the front with some more trickery to get the wheel out 20mm more = et-10

At least buying the lowest offset rims like Polo means you have an excuse for spacers, but at the same time, wide wings should come AFTER rims. Just buy the manliest rims you can then if you need to, you can buy wide arches. Wide arches only look good with the right wheels, so if you get the arches first then have to get spacers you are a bit of a backward loser really. I guess I get to used to the drift scene but it's really the truth, unless your rims don't fit, then don't buy wide arches. Don't buy arches then have to buy big spacers - fake shit.

Just get 18x9.5j et12 or whatever they do, then we can put a bit of a flare on the arch, will look gangster.

Wondered why you had such huuuge rear spacers, I didn't realise you had such weak offsets
