Rota Wheels

Flares? Yep got a set of ZG's or a set of Msa street flares ready to go.

They have plenty of caliper clearance unless your calipers sit too close to the hub.
As an example, an S13 with S14 brakes won't clear, but with larger GT-R size discs they will.

Can you measure how much clearance there is 25mm out from the centre of the studs? I need 15mm to clear the S12W callipers.

[BenZed]

Same problem I'm afraid. The clearance at 25mm is zero, but at 40mm out there is 50mm. In other words if your discs were one inch bigger you could fit anything.

Hello Ben couple of questions. Ive bought the 17x9 and 17x 9.5 Rotos off you a while back. Where can i buy some nuts to suit and what size tyres would you recommned? I have kings lowered springs if it makes a diffrence.

We have forged aluminium wheel nuts to suit for $4.50 each.
If it was me I would run a 215/45 front and 235/40 rear, but you may not want stretched tyres.

Ben, would those aluminium wheel nuts fit Performance brand wheels also? I assume they are M12x1.25 pitch? thanks

How about the RB family? Any luck there?

Yes they should be suitable

17x7.5 +4 and 17x8.5 +4 RB are good for brake clearance. 16x7 is good too, but 16x8 not so good.

[Ben]

Cheers, the images on your site seem to indicate as you have said.

Can you double check the measurements on the 16x7 +4.

I would probably get 2x 16"x7"+4 and 2x 16"x8"+4 (assuming the 8" will fit under non-flared rear guards)

My 17x7.5 Rota RBs arrived the day after I gave my credit card details and they look mint. I'll post a picture or two showing the fitment when I get them on the car.

Thanks again to Ben and Grant.

yes lots of pics please. what rubber did you go for.

[stevo_gj]

I am probably going with a set of Neuton NT5000 tyres in 215/45/17, they are costing me $145 per corner.

Here is a pic of my car with the 9 inch fronts and 9.5 inch rears. They were not meant for this car  as I have another I am building but after I put them on I don't want to take them off!

Hopefully Ben will get some more of the 9 and 9.5 for my other car

I hope he gets some in soon too

Thanks Ben, the wheels look great. I don't have any better pics atm but when I do I will put a link here to them.

These wheels are 17x7.5s running 205x45 tyres on a 260z with stock suspension and untouched guards.
