Lawsy Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Lookiong to get a some rota gt3's. Will i have any problems with the 7'' width wheels opposed to the 6.5'' in fitmet/rubbing?gratefull for any help! Quote
Idrees Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Depends on the offset, I had Advan RGs 15x7" - they caught the arches but only because of the ET32 offset.I also had some Rota GT3s 16x7" and ET40 offset, they never caught the arches. Quote

The rota's im interested in are 15x7 et38? Quote
Idrees Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Yes thats right mate.The Starlet wants ET37-40 ideally.ET38 is absolutely spot on mate. You can go nice and low without rubbing too (as long as you have a panhard rod, or the rear wheels will go out of alignment and one side will stick out and rub). Quote

Thats if i actually get them of course Quote
