I have 18x9.5" rota grids on mine with ABW arches, mine is also very low.

Dare say i could get 18x10" in the too. Check my build thread if you want to see how it looks.

should be on the right page.

I've got some ultra lights that look very much like rota grids with hub converters at a good price if your interested
Look in the for sale section

I brought my wheels from Maggy (Top Man) which were ET38 if I remember correctly I then brought some HUBCENTRIC 20mm spacers all round. The tyres I believe are 255/40 or 45 I will double check after work and get back to you.


P.S. Maggy if I decide to go for 10"s I be calling you mate.
