Wheels that clear Rotora BBK?

I recently installed some Rotora Big Brakes on the front. I'm using 5mm spacers to clear the stock type s wheels. My tires have only but a couple months left and I've been wanting to upgrade rims. I want to avoid using spacers all together. What are some people running with their BBK?

Something larger than the stock size should be all you need. (like 18s or 19s)

^ Generally, yea.

Also, offsets come into play. You'll want low offsets.

i also have a rotora bbk and have used many wheels that cleared without spacers. I have some of those wheels for sale right now.

generally you need around 35 offset or you can makeup for offset depending on the face of the wheel

35 is extreme. Ive seen +50 fit just fine in the past. Rim design is the biggest key.

Thanks for the comments guys but I forgot to mention it's a 2003 model. I was thinking 19X8 with +45 was the standard but I'm wondering what others have ran with their BBK. Please post some pictures!

you are right. just from experience most of the rims i picked out that were near 40 offset needed a skinny spacer to clear. but wheel design has a HUGE effect also.

Well, it's about that time. Front driver's side tire is done. I'm looking for something like the Mugen NR with the multi-spoke look or some Maya or Work style fat 5 spokes!
