WTT: Rota Grids for.....Rota Grids

i have a set of black rota grids 5x100 18x9.5 et35? im looking for same numbers BUT with a higher off set (38,40) i love the minimal stretch i have (245-40-18 on my 18x9.5s), but them wheels are too far out. hence i would like to keep my stretch, but bring them wheels back in a little bit.

you want a little more aggressive, i want a little more subtle. whos out there

Don't they only make them in 18x9.5 +38 for 5x100...? Never seen a +35 Grid for 5x100.

I had a +38 set on my bugeye with the same tire size as yours and had no issues. I even had a 5mm spacer up front for Brembo clearance too (effective +33 offset). If anything, pull your fender a little more; 2-3mm isn't much.

Once you roll and slightly pull your rears, you should have enough clearance. With that set up, I ran -2.2° of camber in the front and -1.8° in the rear.

Wrong set of wheels then, haha. Gotta put some effort into it if you want to run a wide set up...

ya. i have the ability to camber as much as i need to eliminate rubbing. camber plates/bolts/spacers. im just not all about the new tires needed every so often due to camber. the less the better for me. i love my look right now, but not feelin the smack to the wallet with the camber i have right now (unsure of exact numbers but visually cambered, rear) the fronts are cambered as well but not nearly as noticeable

zero camber won't wear evenly either.

0 camber is AWFUL for handling and would look retarded. If this is what you wanted you should have gotten 18x7.5 +48s. You're not going to get camber wear from running a little bit of camber. 245/40s aren't a small amount of stretch for that size as well.

If you do have +35s, an additional 3 mm of inset is nothing at all.

With zero your handling will be retarded. Just like what he said ^^^.

meh. ya im realizing that now. if only i could take a pic and show u what the rears are at. my goal is to at least get them more towards 0 (pls explain to me why more tire contact will reduce handling? especially on seasonal tires that have specific "zones" on the tread) IMO, the camber i have now looks retarded. i hate excessive camber. granted i still have to roll my fenders so i can get another alignment (i cant give my wheels much + camber with my fenders not rolled and pulled properly)
