ROTA Grid Drift`s......ADVISE.

Been looking at new wheels for a while and like the look of these.

My question is will they fit straight on a 55plate wrx without any mods to wheel arches on 18`s?

I see a few guys that post on here with them and they look awessome.
thx
Kev

I'm running GTR's that are 8x18 and ET45. They sit nicely, but I'm running a bug but thinking about some 10mm spacers just for looks

BODSKI, lovely scoob mate, there not the Rota Grid Drifts thou. But I do like the look. It seems hard to find a nice wheel in just black everyone is doing gunmetal instead. My WRX is silver with 18`s Inovit`s Redlines in Black and I love Black on a silver scoob.

I don't wanna start a new thread and now I use this existing one. I am very interested in buying a set of of gold 8,5x18 ET44 Rota Grid Drift wheels for my 2003 Wrx Sti.

Now I have a question to the owners of these wheels. Will they fit with the big gold Brembo calipers? Or will they only fit with spacers for both axles?
