Default rota 17" rims with 45mm of offset..problems with cleara

want to get the circuit 10. for my xB.

e-mailed tirerack.com and they said to stick between 37-40mm of offset, though the rota dealer said it would not be a problem...

you will need a 5mm spacer to not rub on the rear trailing arm. or somehint in the back. It will rub. Get a 40 if you can if not see van at oneton for a 5mm spacer.
Bect of luck

For a +45 offset I would minimally get the OTG rear shims, and maybe some 3 spacers up front.

well..yup, 45 mm offset cannot be done for the rear wheels... i still had to have it tried on, though now I know Tirerack.com was correct.

During this past week, I sent an e-mail to Kim Bong of rotawheels.com, but the reply was it WILL fit because the manufacturer said there would be no problem!

Then the dealer here, Tires Direct Hawaii said I should not experience any problem, until such time all four tires were mounted on its rims and about to come off the lift...only then would the dealer eat his words about it will fit with no problem...

guess it was not to be...by the way, the Circuit 10 Rota wheels 17" were noticeably lighter than some of the other same sized rims like the Spyder, etc...
