    Wheel help

    Ok so I got a set of rota gtrs 9.5 Et30 and the front won't go on as it's hitting the shock, back is fine it will need rolling/flaring but I expected that, what are my options for the front?

    You'll need a 10mm spacer IMO. Anything higher than et20 is likely to hit the strut.

    I'm assuming I need 10 all round otherwise the front will look stupid? What arch work would I then need on the front?

    You don't need spacers on the rear so you can try it and see how it goes. Arch work depends on what size tyres you're running. I ran 225/40/18's and only needed to fold the lip up slightly.

    I'm running 245/40 I put the rears on and will definitely need a roll there not sure what the front will need if it's sitting an extra 10 mm out

    245 is quite chunky for the front. Maybe try a 5mm slip on spacer first.

    Those are meant to fit well, make the car look more aggressive too, only issue is they're more fragile than oem metal.

    before you think making the front look too wide as its going against the "staggered" look, have a look at some of the 2015 formula drift cars, some of them have the front wheels nearly a full wheel width wider than the rear, mainly for the clearance for silly lock and stability

    I would get 15mm spacers to be on the safe side, I have 10mm and its tight. (Had a friend pull on disc/caliper while un tightening re tightening bolts to give a few more mm)
    I have 20mm for the rear but will need the arches rolling and flaring. 235 45 18

    I was thinking 15mm spacers all round so I effectively have et15 if I'm right? With a decent flare they would fit fine??
