    ROTA Torque 17" (drift)

    Hi 2 all

    my name is Ozren and I have account on Driftworks.
    the thing is I live in Croatia and for me it's not just "click and buy" wheels, I need first to check for sure what should I buy.

    I have S14a with stock suspension and no spacers.
    please tell me is this option good for me:

    Gunmetal, ET35 Front ET12 Rear, 5x114.3, 17x9"/17x9.5" Staggered (+20Ł inc VAT)

    I would like my S14a to look like this with them on (I'm looking the line with end of the wheel and body of car)

    are 17x9" also staggered or not?






    and please tell me is it possible to pay with VISA electronic credit card over my friend?

    tnx

    p.s.
    If its possible, I will order wheels at wednesday or thursday (12. or 13. this month)

    TNX!

    Set of four 18x9.5 ET30s with Falken 225/40/18 front, 255/35/18 rear and 5mm slip on spacers for front strut clearance you're looking at £1195 plus delivery, that'll clear with stock arches etc just fine. Unfortunately because you're in N.Ire it falls into a funny category with the couriers, so postage ends up being £100 for wheels and tyres.

    Nice thanks.

    Oh, can you suggest ET's for me here?

    30-40mm lowering, not on coilovers.
    s14.
    17x8 front and 17x9 rear, gunmetal torque's.
    Want the wheels to give the stance the black s14s in the top pic here has got. Hopefully without spacers please.

    Thanks a bunch.

    You'll never acheive the stance of that car with the 17x8 front and 17x9 rear, the 8s are flat faced so just don't give the same look.

    What you'd really need would be the same as Ozy ordered in the end, 17x9 ET35 front with an (included) 5mm spacer, and the 17x9.5 ET30 rear. Or 17x9 ET35 all around, with 5mm spacers all around, which I'd include again to make them fit spot on.

    was thinking of buying a set like this myself, and love the way the spokes on the 17x9's curl out from the hub.
    My question is would the arches need to be rolled to fit these to a standard car not lowered at them mo, and how would lowering effect this??
    thanks

    no, nothing needed.. just straight on (bolt on)

    I've buy as Ben said:
    front -> 9x17" ET35 with included 5mm spacers
    rear -> 9,5x15 ET30
    all with bolts and rings for wheel hubs.

    few days ago I have lowered my Silvia with 200SX S14a racing suspension,
    which is stock nissan shocks with Eibach springs (-40mm).



    hope you like it!

    max et30 but shape of spokes shouldn't be much curved to inside because of the brake calipers.
