Rota Subzero's 16 X 7

[FrigginGLI]

Would the 16 X 7 with offset of 40 fit the p5 with 205/50 tires.

www.machiii.net has them on sale.
16 X 7 with 40 offset 500$ with free shipping.

Thanks for the info.

Bump?

yup. The centers will have to be bored out 3mm though. Our rear axels won't fit through the stock holes.

Rishie just explained this to me the other night. Let's see if I was paying attention.
See how the center of the wheel is recessed?

The rear axles on the P5 stick out far enough to where they won't clear the center-holes of Sub Zeros(every other Rota wheels fits fine) with out machining them down a tiny bit.
TIP: machine all four so that rotating your tires isn't a giant hassle.


+40mm is the correct offset, though.

Thanks for the info, the other wheels have no problems then?
Might go with the slipstreams then.

No problem! That's what this site is for!(drinks). Yeah, it's only Sub Zeros that won't fit.
I'm sure Rishie(ARD MP5) can give you the whole story, and maybe even match/beat that price! He has a pretty solid relationship with Rota.
Give him a PM.

PS: Equinox machind his w/ a dremmel tool, so if you really want sub zeros, it's not THAT much of an ordeal to fit them.

 

[FrigginGLI]

Yeah , steel gray slipstreams with polished lip is looking more like what I'm going to go with.

 

[Natey]

Slipstreams are nice!
Those GroupNs look pretty slick too. That's what I want on the wifey's Miata.

So a Rota Slipstream in 16X7 with a offset of 40 would be fine and dandy?

They also come in 45 Offset is that better to go with?
