I'm new to the TC's and was looking into getting some Rota Grid's. I have searched around a bit and have seen some wide wheels with some low offsets. The TC is lowered on Hotchiks springs. What kind of 18"s can we run on there with no rubbing issues. What about offsets. I have seen most are around +40 or so. Around what offset do you get into trouble with rubbing?

Thinking the (18x9.5 Rota Grid - Gold (5x100/e38/56.1) may be pushing it. Offset is +38 but I would think 9.5 is pretty wide for a TC. I have seen one car on here with this setup and hes slammed. Yet wonder what it took to take that to work.



Any issues with the (18x8.5 Rota Grid - Flat Black (5x100/e44/56.1) Offset may need some spacers to look nice, but you loose that concave look.



Any input would be great!

 

18x9.5 et38 is perfect :D

 

Whoops just saw the other guys post with these on his. Damn stretched tires and rubbing. Slammed though....Wonder if any issues with just hotchiks.

 

stretched tires and negative camber.

 

hotchkis springs are soft so your definitely going to rub...not that big of a deal though lol

 

if your not rubbing...your doing it wrong.

 

^ agreed

 

words that wes and i live by

 

or better yet.
if your not rubbing...
A.) your not low enough
or
B.) your rim specs are wrong

 

get coilovers and slam it haha

 

dont be a biter...

 

It's actually for my girlfriends TC. Don't need any rubbing issues and not looking to slam the car. Plus I have never been into that tire tucked look. Makes no sense to me but to each his own!

I guess I could take the rear wheels off my S2000 and throw them on her TC yet I think the TC is 5x100 correct. They are a 17x9.5 +44 Work XD9's. 3" Lips! Ah well, guess we will have to go with an 8.5....any issues with that wide of a wheel?

 

no but you're issue is the s2k is 5x114.3 and the tc is 100

 

Yep, too bad.
