It's listed in there, at the bottom:
"Rims & Tires
Front Rims (Brand): Rota RKR-R
(Model): Rota RKR-R
(finish/color): Matte Black
(diameter): 18
(width): 9.5in
(offset): +42 with 35mm spacer
Rear Rims (Brand): Rota RKR-R
(Model): Rota RKR-R
(finish/color): Matte Black
(diameter): 17
(width): 9.5in
(offset): -20 with 15mm spacer"
As for that -10et in that ebay link ...that would definitely be too low an offset, lol
...BUT, an 8" +5et and 8.5" +10et would definitely fit with a mere -2 front camber... AND, they seem to make that size already in 5x100..or, at least it's listed as an available size/spec on the Rota RKR link/page.
The problem is...no one seem to have them in stock, or even knows if they were ever made, or shipped to the US.
IDK why no one stocks them or why no one knows if they were ever made...especially since they're clearly stated here:
http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=100
My guess - these RKRs were made/released well before the release of the FRS/BRZ, and at the same time 5x100 was never a popular wheel pattern size for low-offset rwd type wheels before the twin was released. The RKRs were intended to be used on 4 lug cars and the AE86.
Result - Rota never fired up the kiln and pressed those RKRs in 5x100 in their listed specs and low offset, mainly because 5x100 wasn't popular (
yet).
But, I bet those 5x100 8"et5 and 8.5"et10 wheel CADs and specs are definitely in their computer already, ready to be made...since they listed it on there.
I guess they just need to be convinced to make them. IDK how to convince them though lol.
I'm sure they'd sell pretty good with the popularity of the twin.
18" RKR is just too big for a classic design and doesn't fit the look. +42 is too high an offset. ..just make them dang 17" 8" and 8.5" 5x100 that are already listed I say
