Wheel Directory: Rota Grid 18x9.5 +38 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I test fitted my Rota Grids off my old tc onto the frs and this is what it looked like. Im actually selling the rims for payments for while im in boot camp, so this isnt how the car car sits right now. And in my opinion 9.5 is to wide for the fronts. It sticks out a lot. But 9.5 in my opinion is perfect for the rear.

9.5 in the front will fit once dropped and cambered. It'll be hella flush and not hella functional though.

Sandman3zb · 07-10-2012, 04:58 PM

i like a lil hellaflush on the streets but i have stocks for the track. And maybe one day a set of rpf1s for track. Just wanna make it look good for the road while i save up for performance.

Looks nice though. I went with 18x8.5 for the front and kept the x9.5's for the back..at first I was skeptical about the aggressive rear appearance but I've grown to really like it now

lol I just noticed you shopped your wheels into your sig. Nice work.

18x9.5 are indeed a bit more aggressive. Another option would be 18x9. Still very flush but not as out there as a 9.5 would. Will be trying on 18x10 in the near future for the rear...

Looks cool, what size tire 225? Does the car still feel good or a little more sluggish?

jedichimp · 07-10-2012, 06:09 PM

What denki said, plan on lowering it? Oh, nevermind you're selling them. Looks good though, better than the guy who was running 8.5/9.5's

dnjshin0bi · 07-10-2012, 08:34 PM

Can you please put up a pic of clearance between the wheel and strut? I assume this is on the stock suspension?

Sandman3zb · 07-11-2012, 01:56 PM

The tires are a 235. They are barely and i mean barely stretched. I needed it for my tc to clear. And the car didnt feel that much different just barely a little bit sluggish but nothing crazy. But in corners it felt like alot more grip.

Ill get the pics of the rims and struts when i get off of work. (it was crazy close, to the point i almost didnt even take the car off the jack. )

BioRage · 07-11-2012, 03:42 PM

YES!

These look great!!

Now you need it lower!

staycrushing · 07-12-2012, 02:28 PM

2 inch drop and a 225 tire would be perfect.... if you really want a nice stance camber the rear about 1.5-2 degrees then run a 10mm spacer in the front and camber about 3-3.5 degrees so it looks like this:

it gives the car a more aggressive turn in to compensate for the added tread.

another thing to be sure to match the stiffness of the suspension to the tire... if you mess that up and run a cheap tire with a stiff shock you will understeer and plow and bounce like a toy.

stiff shock/spring = stiff tire
soft shock/spring = soft tire

otherwise... well youll see what i mean.
