BrownBoy Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 They'll fit, but you will need fender rolling if you are low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without lowering do you think that I would have issues with that combo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93turbo2 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 did u do negative camber? Yup, running -1.7* in the front, -1* in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgspecb Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 **** i just had a whole thing typed that confirmed the grids will fit... and erased it DAMNIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgspecb Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Im going to compare the grids to my previous setup, as they are the only setup I have first hand expierence with. Spec B factory rim 18x7 +55, 215/45/18 tire. Rims I just returned were Javlin J-2 18x7.5 +42mm, 235/40/18 tire. Rota Grids are 18x8.5 +44mm, 235/40/18 tire (im using same tire). The Javlins did not rub in the front, with no fender roll. They rubbed in the rear barely, with fender roll, I think they were rubbing on the pastic trim behind the rear door, and a bit on the fender liner on hard cornering. They had 7mm more inner clearance than stock, and extended 19mm more than stock to the fender. These number are speaking of the rim, not the tire/rim combo. According to http://rimsntires.com/specs.jsp, the PACKAGE will stick out 23mm (0.9'') farther with the added tire meat and have more clearance toward the strut. The rota grid RIMS according to http://rimsntires.com/specs.jsp, have 8mm LESS inner clearance than stock (shouldnt be a problem) and the lip extended 30mm more stock to the fender. Thats only 11mm more outward than the Javlins I had. When the tire info is added, the package will extend 21mm (0.8'') farther than stock. This is MORE fender clearance than the Javlins. This due to the fact that the 1" extra wheel width is eating up the meat of the tire more than the previous wheel. That coupled with the higher offset than the javlins only moves the PACKAGE towards the suspension 2mm which is nothing to worry about. Am I taking crazy pills or does my math check out? Untested math doesn't always work, but because I actually have the tires in hand and have run the setup I'm comparing to, i think Ive done some good home work. Thoughts? pic 1 is stock-vs-javlin.jpg I know what kind of rubbing this setup did, it was all outer fender/plastic rubbing. pic 2 is stock-vs-grids.jpg, this is just to see what the numbers look like with the stock vs grid setup. pic 3 is javlin-vs-grid.jpg, I used this because now I can see that the rota grid package with the same tires, actually nets me more clearance toward the fender.

wpgspecb Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 ALL OF MY MATH is based on stock alignment with 0 camber and stock ride height. Things will only get better with alignment and slight camber/lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpgspecb Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yup, running -1.7* in the front, -1* in the rear. how much camber can be attained on the front stock struts without addons or lowering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93turbo2 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 how much camber can be attained on the front stock struts without addons or lowering? I'm not sure, but it would be whatever the max is on the stock camber bolt. -1.2*? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgspecb Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm not sure, but it would be whatever the max is on the stock camber bolt. -1.2*? stock bolts... 1.2°... so you ARE sure !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
