ROTA GT-3's on a Protege5..?

[Chicken SOup]

Well i went to Machiii.net and i saw that they carry the GT-3's in our bolt pattern 5 X 114.3, however the offset they carry is 40...
My car is not lowered, so will this offset be ok??
Thanks guys

IF you are going to lower, you will rub majorly. 40 is ok if you don't lower. In all cases..I'd look for a different rim.

However like you said, if dont drop the car, Im ok??

I don't think so. I had +42's on stock springs and rubbed in the back. If you have a sedan you might be better off, but I wouldn't do it with a P5.

I have a friend with the Rota GT-3s... they fit with the stock tires, but if you go for a 205 or wider it will probably rub.

BTW he is lowered on H&Rs.

I have 17x7 +40 wheel and my tires dont rub (205/40) with the Tokico struts and Eibach springs.

my autocross wheels are 16x7 with a +38 offset running 215/45 tires and they use to rub on the rear inner lip, so I tucked the lip up.

(yippy)

He has the GT-3's on a Protege5? Is there any way you can get a pic.. This is the wheel i want however, i'd love to see them on a p5...
So wut ur saying is that if i stick with the 195/50/16, ill be ok?

Thanks man!

Geez, that is absolutely gorgeous!! I'm Sold!
Did he get them from Machiii.net? So his offset is 40 correct? Sorry to be a pain i just want to make sure.
Just to please my inquiry does he have any closer shots..
Peace

Yes the offset is +40.

He got them from a shop locally... their website is http://www.aj-racing.com/.

I don't think he has any closer shots, I'll ask him though.

that's my car that's pictured there!

I strongly suggest you get hubcentric rings for the wheels, as I do get a lot of vibrations. Other than that, the wheels are great. The centercaps are a bit ugly, I haven't attempted to put them on .

I actually bent one of my rims, so i'm running on stockers right now, it wasn't the wheels' fault tho, it was a big rock .

If u have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me or placebo as I don't check this board much.
