1. I'm buying a set of slipstreams for the R in 15x7 and wanted to know which offset to go with for autox, 40 or 35?

2. Being that my R is a theft recovery with no sway/strut/lower tie bars at all, I wanted to pick up an oem complete set just for the sake of putting the R together stock. But the thing is, I've spent a lot of time tuning my suspension how I want it without the bars (if it helps I'm on Koni/GC's). How drastic will the car change after adding all these bars?

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

 

sway bars will drastically change and improve your handling. The strut/tie bars will do less but still improve response.

Are you sure the offset was +35 and not +38?

 

buy a good sized rear sway bar. keep the front stock. the car will feel a LOT better.

 

Add both front and rear OEM ITR if you like the actual balance.

 

gonna have to retune because sway bars will drastically improve your handling. get the lower offset

 

As for offset, I originally wanted a 38 but Rota doesn't make them. 35 and 40 are my only options but was worried I would run into rubbing issues with the 35. The R is a tad lower than stock.

And the sway/strut/lower tie bars are all OEM. I have it setup now very neutral but I guess I will need to retune once I slap those on.

 

get the 40mm and add spacers if you want them 35.

OEM R are +50 15x6

 

get +35, you wont have any problems.

 

Thanks for your help guys

 

dont see why you would want to run spacers with a 40mm when they already make them in a 35mm.....

 

No I don't want to deal with spacers. I don't daily the R so running a 35 won't bother me.

Because his main concern was the fitting of the +35...if the +35 rub, he's [freak]ed.

I know they probably will fit, but he wanted to be sure of it.

The solution I proposed cannot fail.

Do you understand better now ? I can make a graphic !
