Rota Grids and Subaru 4-pots

Post by macipusy »

Does anybody know if the 17" Rota Grids will clear the Subaru 4-pots? I know the 18" ones will.

I think "jake15" had a set on his 91. Over his Brembos. Look trough the pics/videos thread. Had a thread called "100% more lip", but am not sure if he had those wheels there.

I don't like those Rota Grids (17x7.5 et48) I much prefer the look of (17x9 et42). The spokes come out at an angle from the hub vs perpendicular.

I believe the 4-pots should clear 17's in general unless there's a lot of backspacing, which it doesn't look like there is.

I wish all 17's could clear. My current rims....the JDM BG5 17's with the chunky 5 spoke design (they don't arch in on the inside of the spoke) will not clear the 4-pots. This really bums me out, but brake performance overide the style points of the rims. I really like the BG5 wheels :(
