Hi all

I am thinking of buying a second set of wheels as I have already got XXR 527s which I like but want a set of rota grids as well.

I want the 18" rota grids with the big concave on them I think its 9.5j

I have just bought a set of bc coilovers and wanting to know the best wheel size and offset for getting the concaved shape

I dont want my arches rolled though so I wont get that done.

has any of you got the big concaved rota grids with coilovers and didnt get the arches rolled ?

also its a 2003 impreza STI

I will be going to RA motorsport to get some work done from them and andy forest this month and will be getting ra motorsport to do a geometry set up on my impreza as well
will the geometry set up help with having the big concave wheels

 

require arch rolling at the very least 8.75s will need camber bolts on lowered coilovers or arch rolling

 

You'll be best off speaking to M4GGY on here. He can supply them and will know exactly what you require.

However, you will want the 18x9.5 et38 for the concave and with a small spacer to clear the front brakes. Also, I think you might struggle to get them on with no arch work.

 

cheers tubs

I have 8.75s xxr's on at the moment and bc coilovers on their way to me.

I can get the camber bolts on when getting the geo set up from ra motorsport.

 

I phoned ruslip today but mags is out for the day so was going to call back tomorrow

 

i ran 8.75 and required camber bolts but that was due to the ride height being low, obviously if you lift the height up it becomes less of a problem but looks like bigfoot with xxrs on it.

 

iv a 02 jdm bug sti ,cusco coilovers . last year i ran rota grid 9.5 , and only mod i needed were 5mm spacers to clers front brembos . NO arch work needed and no rubbing on mountain run .

 

cheers guys

I have read some people not needing arch work and some people saying it needed done.

I plan to lower my impreza a small amout to close the gap a bit between the arch and the tyres but dont plan to have my car very low

 

depends on the et i guess but grid drifts stick out a lot more than normal grids

 

Used to have 18/9j inovit st6 wheels (similar to rota grid with the concave look)
Was on 2005 blob sti with pro drive suspension , arches were not rolled and never rubbed ,
Just needed a 3mm spacer to clear the front calipers

 

Nizmo what colour are your 527's? if they are the chrome black give me a shout, might be interested in buying them if you end up changing

 

Hi trinity

they are gold mate

plus i was planning to keep them as well

 

Greedy

 

LOL

 

Got 18x9.5 Rota Grids with offset ET38 on my widetrack, only mods I have had to do was 5mm spacer on the front to clear my Brembo's, I run 225/40/18 tyres and the car is lowered on Eibach Pro street coilovers!!
I would like to go slightly lower on the rear, so might have to do some work then, but at the moment the car doesnt rub even on hard cornering etc!!

This thread is making me want some grids

 

I have loads

 

was going to buy a set of rota grids from you mags as I was extremely happy with your services a month or two back when I bought my XXR 527's from you

any one wanting wheels for your scoob mags is the man to talk to

just when I was going to buy them from you a guy offered me a nearly new set of rota grid drifts in 9.5 et38 gunmetal grey and I could not resist



so got these coming to me next week
