Italiano, what are your thoughts on running the Grids in a 245/45-18 setup? Keep in mind, I'm not going as low you are.

Dang, i got my eyes set on this set as well in gold for my Auto 05 WDP TL.

I was reading through this, but I didn't see anything, but did anyone clarify if the +20 Offset with 18x8.75 will need fender rolling on front/back with a 1" Eibach drop?

I wanted the +20 for more concavity. I want to run 245/40/18 tires on front/back. If it don't fit, I guess i'll rock the +35. then.

I would love to run the 9.75 with the 245 tires but I don't think they will fit without rolling and modifications to front and back.

Are you guys fucking kidding me? Are you REALLY going to stoop to this level? I don't give a flying shit if the two of you care to conduct yourselves in this manner, take it to PM, but please, keep it the fuck out of my thread.

Wow someone's getting bitchy. Please stop. It's not very pleasing bro. You never said who you were talking about. But it came after my comments.

They should. Call the folks at www.wheeldude.com when you can order the concave Rotas and they'll let you know. The can do custom set-up's as well that will work if they don't clear.

I doubt those rotas clear. And I wasn't talking about the rotas, more of those xxr wheels, crazy concave ones.

If you stay the same 45 series as stock they will be taller sidewalls than 235/45 17's. remember that 45 is the aspect ratio meanin 45% of the width of the tire. 235/45 are lower profile than 245/45/ 45% of 235mm is less than 45% of 245mm. The best size would be 245/40-18. This will also yield less change in your speedo than 245/45 which will actually have you going slower than what you speedo would be telling you.

Like I explained rota will make you custom fitment so that they do if none of what they sell do. I dont see how italiano's spokes wouldn't clear the BBK calipers. Or the Rota Torques I'm doing.
