He Pm'd me and said I got the last set in staggered. Recieved a confirmation email on my order a couple hours ago so yes.

Did you specify that you wanted staggered when you ordered?




Off topic a bit, Just got the Tanabe drop installed, will post some pics later tonight when I get back from the drag strip.

Dude, you just dont even know. He knew I wanted the staggered. Now Im a bit peeved. I've been going round and round about this for nearly a month.

Zoeb, you need to step in here on this one. Before I go off, can you explain how this gentleman got Bronze Torques staggered when I told you for a solid month I wanted them.

On a side note, I just ordered a set of these up too. I've had my eye on them for a while and in my opinion they're the best looking 18's below some of volk's offerings. They're going to be my daily street/drag radial/beat up set. I went with the +28 non-staggered set and plan to put my long studs and spacers to use for the lowest possible offset with the DR's on.

Good luck with getting the situation sorted out. IMO, you should just stick with the non-staggered wheels. They look 100x better than the staggered. Concave FTMFW!

I would definitely get those wheels in the 9.5 inch width on all 4 corners. Much, much better looking.

Nuki06FireZ - As Zoeb mentioned we no longer have Full Royal Sports Bronze staggered Torques in stock, which is the color you want. The set that Zulu-6 ordered is the standard Bronze color, this color we do have in stock. I hope that clears everything up.

Oki Dan,

Thanks for clearing that up. I think that Zoeb might have misunderstood me. I was never made aware that you had a different color in Bronze than FRSB. I told him I just wanted bronze, and staggered. This obviously caused some confusion in what I considered priority. I stated bronze was the color I wanted, and that I would be settling if I took a different color. But I always stated I wanted a staggered set. He never once mentioned you had a different bronze, or I might have chosen them instead.

Anyway, the point is moot. Im happy with what I got, but was just a little dismayed at having to go back and reasses my tire needs. But alls well that ends well I suppose. I do think we had a small breakdown in communication, but I'll chalk that up to me being where Im at and not able to get messages quickly or easily.
Thanks Dan.

I would have if I didn't have 245 in front, 9.5 is just too wide for it IMO.

That's the only difficult factor about that 9.5 width--the tires. Even though it makes sense for slightly less understeer to get something wider on the front, it's just harder to find the sizing in most tire brands.

I was planning on doing a 255/35/18 BFG KDW2 in front, and a 275/35/18 BFG DR in back. I figured this would give me enough rubber to the ground on all 4. I considered the 295 DR in back but I'm concerned with rubbing because I'm running spacers for a more agressive offset. hmm...

Got my Bronze Rotas on yesterday but ran into a problem with the rear hub caps. They won't fit because the hub nut protrudes to far out. Anybody else run into this problem?

I'm waiting to here back from Zoeb, hopefully he has a solution for me. I can't be the first Z with these Rotas? Unless the 07's hub nut is longer for some reason?
