18x9.5 Rota Grid
 

1. Anyone know if 18x9.5 Grids fit over sport brakes?
2. Will ET+20 with stretched tires fit the front with no rub under hard cornering?

I'm thinking of running these as a square setup with spacer in back.

18x9.5 Rota Grid - (5x114.3/e20/73)

You can afford a 370 and a GT-R and your going to run stretched tires on 9.5" Rotas on your Z?

:inoutroflpuke:

Yup ;)

And thanks for the constructive reply.

So you are taking off the rays forged wheels for some knock off wheels.... :confused:

And yes a 9.5+20 should have no rubbing issues for the fender but since there are not a lot of 370z guys running Rota wheels you may be the first to try this with Caliper to spoke clearance.

Rays are gonna be for DD, and Rotas for drift events. At least thats the plan now, if I like em I may sell the rays and get more Grids for backups.

The only thing I found is that 18" Rota DPT fit over sport brakes for someone on this forum. I would still like some sort of confirmation before buying.

This page lists that size/offset as appropriate for GT-R fitment. Should be fine.

Nice find, thx

Don't mention it.

This guy was running 19" +15's all around, I don't see 18's being an issue in the same offset given the wheel design

Yeah but those are 19"

I have had 18" Rota Grid on my car - took them off when shown images of a Rota wheel failure on a mates 300TT.

That said, I can vouch for 18 x 9.5 ET22 will clear Akebono calipers, but I would not put them back on my car.

Thanks man! Appreciated the confirmation!

Do you know the details of what and why failed?

I seen many many people use and abuse Rotas with no failures, personally I think the topis is blown out of proportion.

It is blown way out of proportion. The Mazda community swears by them. I myself ran a set on my Mazda3. No complaints, although some a-hole bought it from a dealer after I traded it and totaled it 2000 miles later....

Agree!, Subaru community as well. I ran them with no issues on my Rex.

Sucks about your car, I had that happen to me, sold my wrx to a buddy who totaled it 2 weeks later :(

Car was a big torque 300ZX TT (450Kw atw) that was extensively tracked, ran slicks (not semi's) and he would always make extensive use of kerbs.

Spokes failed at the hub ... picture the centre still bolted the the hub and spoke fractures where they meet the centre part of the wheel .... was pretty extreme .... and was the first experiecen my friend had with the need to "life" components, something that I have done as a matter of course.

The other issue is that ROTA's would have to be one of the more counterfeited wheels out there. I have seen wheels with ROTA casting marks where the offets are cast into the wheel rather than stamped, and the PCD detail is wrong, all of which indicates a cheap knock-off and one worth putting onto your car.

I'll post up some photos in the next day or so. Sn ET22 9.5 x 18 will need a half-inch spacer to set it flush, so I'll photograph the rear with and wothout spacer. Just give ma a day or so to get it done.

Great thanks!

Took some photos (phone so quality is NFG), hope this helps ....

These images are of Rota Grid 18 x 9.5 ET22 on front and rear ... no spacers.

Firt 5 are of the front and ;last 3 are rear. You can see brake clearance in image no. 4
