ROTA Wheel Slipstream 17x7.5 (5x114.3mm+48mm, 73 Hub) would these rims fit?
and what is the max offset that would fit i know nothing about this ha....

i just put 18s on the car and looked amazing but they were to wide and got caught in the springs... got my money back (stash)
 
I think you would need wheel adaptors. IIRC we have a 67.1mm hub.... Other than that, I don't see why not. Take that with a grain of salt though, I haven't been big on wheels for a while.
 
they would fit fine, that is exactly the rim size/dims Im running on my P5.
you can get away with a 215/45/17 tire, but a 225/45 will force you to heavily roll your fenders, and you still might rub occasionally.
 
7.5 is the right fit for sure.

The offset seems fine as well.

Running an 8" puts you at risk in the rear of it not clearing.
 
Thanks guys but with that hub dimension that should be fine? Can't wait putting the s tek springs on the weekend 1.5in drop just getting back in to the tuner scene after owning trucks for almost 7 years
 
Yes, the hub bore is just fine. As mentioned you will need to get some hub rings though to transition them to the 67.1 hub bore on our cars. No biggie and you should be able to source them at a local tire shop. Most aftermarket wheels come in a 73 hub bore which makes them a "universal fit" for most cars with the use of said rings. I have a set of metal ones that were part of a winter tire/wheel package I bought for my wife's MZ3.
