Wheel Directory: Rota G-Force 18x8.5 +48 / 18x9.0 +35

I did some research on finding a staggered setup without having to break the bank. My preferred option would have been PF01 or RPF1 (18X8.5, 18X9.5) but at the time I could not find them in 5x100. I know tire rack now offers the PF01 in that setup, but it's too late now.

I'm pretty happy with how it came out, but if i could change anything it would be to have the fronts come out some more, maybe a +40 would've been more ideal. Also, the fronts came with different center caps than the rear, but that did not bother me too much.

The reason I did not want a square set-up was that from what I've seen with this car, is that if I went with a size that was perfect in the rear, would've been poking too much in the front...and vice versa.

I also considered the 57 extremes, but was nearly double the price of these wheels. So far, even after tracking the car, they have held up pretty well. No issues so far.

Set-up is:

18 X 8.5 +48
18 X 9.0 +35
Eibach Pro Kit

Looks good, gunmetallic goes really well with whiteout since they both have a little pearl in it.

Good choice!

Thanks Zoeb. Although I did not order from you (maybe I should have-long story), I heard great things about your support.

No worries, if you need anything in the future let us know :thumbsup:

Looks Awesome! Personally I think that the slightly conservative front offset looks perfect. Did I miss the tire sizes? Thanks for posting.

Thanks, no I forgot to post them -- 225/40/18 Front, 255/35/18 rear. Went with the General GMax AS03.

Looks good but hard to tell it's lowered and i'm a conservative lowering guy i only got Tein H Techs.

Looks good. Didn't realize those had that much concave in them.

Yeah I was a little disappointed with that. Probably should have went with the Sportlines like my gut told me. Most likely I'll go with a coilover kit next year.

How much room is between the tire and strut in the front. I have the same rims, but i'm not buying tires till spring. I'm planing on mounting 245/35/18, and need to know if a small spacer (3-5mm) is needed.

I'm not sure if you could get away without using a small spacer. It is tight with the 225s. The pic below is with the car jacked up, so it may camber in towards the strut when lowered back down.

Yeah +48 on a 8.5 is really close to the strut, I had +44 on a 235/40 and it was really close.

I am getting the exact same set up, same tires except for 245/35/18's in the back. But will be dropped with Eibach Sportlines.

The front looks dangerously close to the struts and thinking about spacers up front. Which brand do you guys recommend for a good reliable spacers?
