Default Anyone rides on 15" gold ROTA RBs?

I don't remember seeing anyone do that yet. (which is odd.. )

I got OTG 10mm spacers in the back and the box is dropped 2", which one can be most flush without rubbing? I'm gonna be running 195/60/R15 tires.

15x8 with +25 offset?

15X8 with +37 offset?

Or the 15x7 with +27 offset?

thanks!!

They are currently only available in:

15x8 +4
15x8 +35
15x7 +35

http://rotawheel.com/AVAILABILITY.htm

I'd just do the 15x8 +35 & add the 10mm spacer to push them out to +25.

As long as it won't rub, I'm content. =)

15x8 +35 it is!

I tried test fitting the same exact rim, but it wouldn't fit in the rear. There's a small nub sticking out of the beam. The tire would hit it. I kinda measured it out & figured that if the wheel was a +25, it would clear. You can file that nub off, though. Doesn't seem like it will affect anything structurally.

It's on the rear arm. Both sides. I don't have a direct picture, but you'll see it when you take off the wheel. I have it on my 2006 xB, but I've heard that some people don't have it. If you have it, just get a file & file away.

If you have the 10 mm spacer in the rear, then you will be pushing out those wheels to +25, so it shouldn't rub at all.

Thanks to the stock market... I now have to postpone the order until later. And that will mean after Christmas because I don't want to run my new wheels in the snow / salt. =(

I've run the RBs in 15x8 with 35 offset, looked great. I have an extra set in silver too as a backup. I might rock em on my other car.
