I want to buy some Rota Slipstreams and I know the 16x7 +45 offset will fit my 5th gen. I noticed they also come in 16x8 +48 offset. Just wondering if anyone knows if the 8'' wide wheels will fit or not.

 

Yes they will, there's a guy that has a AutoX Prelude that comes on that has them.. He sells them also, you should contact him.

 

Any idea how can I find him?

 

The 16x8 Rotas should fit no problem. I tried fitting 16x8 RX7 wheels where are about the same size with just a tad more offset. They fit fine.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm going to try them. do you think I would have any problems lowering my car with them on?

 

hopefully they actually send you the right ones.....

 

Depends on the tire size you use.

When I was looking at 8" wide wheels, I was considering 225/45/16.

I've heard conflicting reports though of using 225. Any thoughts 117?

 

225/45/16 should work just fine. When I tried the 16x8 RX7 wheels, I was trying to fit a 245/45/16 race tire. That was a very tight fit, and would not work without some fender work.

Right now I'm using a very wide 225/50/15 (actually they're as wide as a 245) on 15x8, +40mm wheels, and they fit fine, but the rear required fender rolling. The front fits fine.

 

awsome 225/45/16 it is then.

 

how about 17 by 8 inch with a 38 offset?

yes
u may want to run 40 series tires unless u modify ur fenders
i run 8 +45 in front and 8 +35 in the rear with 215/40/17s no prolem man!

 

i emailed a distributer for sportmax and he told me the front tires would stick out on a forth gen. how far does anyone know

 

i know not much help but 16x7.5 with 225/45/16 is what i have and ive got a good bit of room left.
