rota slipstreams

[DrunkenTiger]

i am interested in purchasing these rims but i have few questions.

i know they come in our bolt pattern 5x100 but you need some sort of special spacers? what about for the 16 inch gt-s rims with kumho tires. do you guys think the tires will be transferable from the gt-s wheels to the 16 inch rota slip streams? thanks in advance.

if offset sucks...like +48 (like my rota tarmacs) you'll rub against something when you turn ALL the way...but its not bad...you just learn to turn 9/10 of the way instead of the last 1/10 which is meaningless....

get wheel spacers. i will. 20mm back. 15mm front. it should look a lot better after

Tiger, just PM you.

I have 15 inches however. And they are 15x6.5 +40mm offset. The 16 inches are 7 iinches wide, not 6.5 like stock. So the needed offset is different than mine I think. 16 inches are available in +40, +45 and +48mm .. I may be wrong but +40mm would be the same as +48mm + 8mm spacer, right??

Nice service, good prices, free shipping ..

An for the tires, they'll fit. You can use 215 and evne maybe 225 with them since they are 16x7. 205 may look a bit tinny on them also ..

which one do you guys will work better with our offsets?

5x100 +40 or 5x100 +48

btw as dan stated rotas are 16x7, not 16.5

+40

+40 that is what I have. No problems with clearance. If you have 0 toe in the front 225/45R16 SO-3s won't rub. I normally run 215 falkens. A little toe in and they rub the inside fender at full lock but just barely.
