Default Anyone running 8.5x18 Rota Force on a Newage

If so can you post your pics here.
Very keen on this wheel but don't want to go to the extreme 9x18 due to tyre stretch/coilover and arch rolling requirements.

Cheers.....

As Rickya says, the offset will determine if you need to roll your archs.

What model do you have? MY0?

Very nice!

I think most 18 x 8.5 will have a 44 offset

I think Hardy P1's on a 35mm offset? The rest look like 44 / 45mm's

If they're 18x8.5 they will be ET48 in both 114.3 and 100, the 9"'s are ET30/27 in 114.3 and ET35 in the 100

Lovely wheels especially in the limited Gunmetal Escort Cosworth

Mag's tells me 225 on the Hawk, but I would like to go 235 if possible as don't like the stretched look (maybe run some rear camber bolts if needed).

Very interesting thread here.... any more pics about ?

I have one question regarding the Force design.... looking at one or two of the pics above I can't quite tell if the spokes are set back into the wheel or when you look down the side if the car do the spokes actually show outside the tyre wall ?

they are set back from the wheel a tad




regarding the tyres you can run 235s but you will get rubbing if you have passengers in the back

you can solve this by running camber bolts (or removing the rear seats ) and due to the hawk not having any material to roll in the arch you are limited to what you can do . you can make any wheel fit its just how much work you want to put in
