will these fit??

[jonnygt]

im thinking on getting the new rota grid v's in bronze they are 15x7 but the offset is et20??

will they fit ok or will i need the arches rolling and when its lowered will they catch all the time??

thanks

[Amjad]

The only thing I'm pretty sure of is you'll probably need a panhard rod to prevent rear drivers side rubbing!

I'd like to know too, wanna get some low offset Rotas eventually!

[Glanza_cl]

its not a particularly wide rim being only 7inch wide but with the low offset the front might catch on hard turning and the back might rub if you have passengers.

they wont rub in daily use unless you run on coilovers slammed type thing. you can run very low in ride height and not have issues but to do so you would have to run the coilovers on a very hard rebound setting.

Panhard rob is a must if going lower then 30/40mm as it really does munch the tracking of the rear.

Basically you would need a panhard rod and personally rolling doesn't cost much, get a nice flair on the arches and roll low and slow

thanks for all the help lads its helped me very much in my future decisions : ) coilys + low offset + panhard rod = win!!!!

i will start saving now

Shouldn't catch - I had +7 offset wheels on the rear of my car, granted its not a Starlet, but uses the same offset. I would only get rubbing on some suspension compression, otherwise it am fine

[Idrees]

Of course they will catch.

I had ET32 offset Advan RG's on my Glanza, 15x7" and even though the rear arches were rolled, they were grinding like mad. ET20 will be sticking out an extra 12mm, they will rub a LOT more.

You can get away with the fronts by using wider fenders, I have ET10 offset Rotas on my Glanza fitted with my fenders. They won't rub a lot, but the rears will be going mental. I'm planning on having the arches flared and will probably set the coilovers to the hardest setting to it's less likely so bounce much and catch the arch.

[riko666]

Starlets suck for offset then

[Georgie]

ive got 15 inch rota grids, and im only happy with it now after having rear arches rolled, and got 20mm spacers on back, got the coilys as low as they can go

[Dean @RW-Developments]

im running 15" 8j with 0 offset and ive had to raise the car alot and the teins are set rock hard but still rub with the arches rolled

[Amjad]

Georgie what offset and width are your grids?

Would a 38-40 offset 15x8" rim rub?

[Sparky]

With a high offset like that Amjad your gonna be catching the inner arches really badly with 8j rims.

Need to find the happy medium between width and offset

[Amjad]

Ahh never thought of that! I think I have high offset 15x7s at the moment, they used to catch on inner arches until I got some 5mm spacers

[Sparky]

Even the standard speedies catch the inner arches on our car, not so bad now with 5mm spacers

[lukEp]

et40 rubbed just on mine till i got a panard rod I'm lowered more than 40mm the lower the offset the more they will rub.

they are et40, width is 7 i had the rear arches rolled with 20mm hubcentric spacers and rsr panhard rod fitted, all perfect, got 50mm profile tyres and it doesnt rub

[Georgie]

this is the rear of mine coilovers have still got another 20mm to go actually which will drop with no problems

[Amjad]

That is quality! Thanks!

[Georgie]

no worries mate glad i could help the fronts have been left alone they didnt need messing about with

[Amjad]

One more thing, did you just get spacers for the back?

If so how did affect handling being wider at the back?

yep i bought 20mm hubcentric spacers and yes they are just on the back, handling is absolutely fine infact id say its that bit better as its abit wider at the rear now

[Amjad]

Cool thanks!
