so i purchased the rota grid off road 16x8 +10 offset wheels and the wheels do not clear the front caliper bracket. I figured i could just order a bracket relocation kit but after googling for and hour im getting no where and ready to give up on running these wheels and just sell them.

if anyone could shine some light on the subject, i would GREATLY appreciate it, it took me 2 years to track these wheels down!

the car is a 94 acura integra RS

i obviously have to roll the fenders as much as possible so that, im prepared to do but wont bother if these wheels really arent a good idea.. both as far as performance goes and practicality for that matter

 

pics?

2 major problems with these wheels. one is they are too wide for most decent size tires. even 16x7 doesn't have many great tire choices. So youll be forced to run crappy tires just to use them. second is theyre very low offset so youll have to roll the hell out of the fenders and use a lot of camber, which is bad in excessive amounts.

 

first one, not a problem. have a set of kdw2's 215/40/16 which to me are the best tires available. I ran those tires on my 16x7 wheels.

camber is not a problem unless there is too much of it like you said

as far as the front bracket not clearing.. do i shave it down.. is there a kit i buy to relocate the brackets?

 

how bad is the brake clearance? is it only like a 1 mm or 2 ? if so you can also just grind down the bracket slightly so the wheels will clear.

if not you may have to use a 3mm sandwich spacer which wont be hub centric, only lug centric unless you somehow combined a hub ring in there as well

 

really good information, i appreciate it! thanks!

you can delete the post though, im exchanging the wheels for 40 offset 16x7's tomorrow... im over the whole offset thing.. more trouble than its worth

 

You can use either 205/45-16 or 215/45-16. Either size will work. (215/40-16 is too small in outer diameter.)
