Rota Subzero ATTN

[SkinnyJoint]

ok i keep gettin in an argument with another p5 memeber cuz im lost i am pretty set on these rims i think

the rota subzeros 17 with a 45 offset. and tires i guess would be 215 45 am i goign to have problems when i lowering it? someoen plz give me straight answer im getting a headache and its xmas lol

 

[toucci]

what width rim?

 

[SkinnyJoint]

17 by 7.5 offset 45 mm

 

[Mr. Win]

7.5? yea but you could easily roll the back fenders on a 205 tire... going with a 45 is so much better because you get the center cap.

 

[L8R]

lower it... meaning springs or coils? i dont see a problem

 

[SkinnyJoint]

meaning shokajo's which in america i guess coilovers and shocks.
i dont wana roll fenders or do nething like that, i wouldnt think a 205 series would fit but if it does kool ill get that i just need to know what i need to get......

 

[Mr. Win]

i tihnk youll be fine with 205s if you get it then you have to push the fenders a bit... and that worst come to worst.

 

[SkinnyJoint]

so if i had 215s then i would definatly have to roll fenders but 205 i wont? is this correct?
will 205s fit on 7.5 though?

 

[Mr. Win]

you have a better chance of making it with 205s

 

[Mr. Win]

im an idiot i retract all statments... haah

 

[SkinnyJoint]

well someoen else is saying they will fit with 205s....
arrrr
this is so confusing plz tell me

 

[toucci]

if you could get a +48 that would be perfect. +45 is the perfect offset for a 17x7 rim

 

[Mr. Win]

nah you cant put 205s on a 7.5 thier not big enough you need at least a 215.

Someone help this guy out, I thought they had the subzero's in 48 offset at one time if I'm not mistaken. Maybe it was on a group buy. 17 X 7.5 with 45 offset subzero's, he's going to be using coilovers, so what would be the max he could ever lower it? Would'nt 215/40 or 45 series be best?

 

[SkinnyJoint]

yes i did see a group buy for the 48 offset but i do believe it was a one time thing. so here i am stuck lol. i mean i dont know what to do alot of ppl are telling me different stuff some say 205 will fit on a 7.5 some say dont. etc. im getting really discouraged lol. i mean if there is an alternative rim out there with a 48 offset i would be game but im kinda picky.

 

[Mr. Win]

That was the offset of my 17x 7.5 subzeros. They fit perfectly, even dropped on coilovers.
Another big reason to buy your Subzeros form AutoRnD is the center bore. The center bore of the Subs is not big enough for our axles to fit through. They'll have to be machined (bored out) a couple mm. Rishie and ARD have done this to more Rotas than anyone.
Not only that, but their prices are really competitive...show Rishie a price from another authorized Rota dealer and chances are, he'll do all he can to match or beat that price.

[Natey]
