Can't them for classic mate not without changing the hubs and driveshaft etc I've been trying forever to find them and the cheapest option would be too buy a new car with them on it lol but on a serious note it ain't cheap to get them too fit

To start the smallest size the Rotas do is 17 x 7.5 5 x 114 which is the wrong size hubs for the classic as they need 5 x 100 and the smallest wheel with that size hub is 18 x 8.0 5 x 100 and they will rub the **** out ur arches so ul have to roll the arches or get bigger arches but then it depends on the offset also and the brake kit u have on

So basically rota dont make them in 17" 5x100 but do in 18" and to fit 18's on a classic you have to roll the arches?

No they are different altogether they ain't drifts but not far from they wouldn't fit as the offset is way to high and they are 17 x 9 wouldn't go on easily anyway a lot of work required

17 x 8 or 18 x 8 would be the largest without work but would rub depending on ride height and brakes so to be safe I'd stick with no bigger than 17 x 7.5 5 x 100 with et between 45 - 53 and ul be sweet
