Hehe, don't you worry I'll be the first to let you know if they crack. I'm not too concerned.

I'm lowered 1 inch all around with tein basics coilovers.

And actually no spacers at all - with my old setup I had 15mm spacers in the rear but it was a no go with these wheels so the spacers were removed and original lugnut studs where replaced. As far as what I was looking for it's a perfect fitment

These are my other wheels wich spacers in the rear:

Any reason you went with 295s in the back? I was under the impression that 275s were about the biggest you would want to go on a 9.5. They just seem really bulged imo.

Ehh not too much - front diameter is only 2.4% smaller than stock (16mm) and rear diameter is only 2.1% less than stock (14mm). Stagered contact patch difference is only 3% more. So yeah a little bit more understeer but not all that much - with my nonstaggered setup (which is what I will still be using to autocross) there is plenty of oversteer. 255/40 all around. These wheels are for DD.


295's Cause I just wanted to see how it would be - I don't really mind the bulge, I don't care for that much of a stretch either, I like things flush - but yeah the rear rubber does stick out a bit.

They look very good. Never said it was ugly. I have heard many horror stories about Rotas and one of my friends that live local to me had rotas crack on him and caused him to wreck. Hes actually on the forums.

Never heard of it, the ones that have cracked and listed on here have hit something really freaking hard. To the point any wheel would crack or fold in half.

Nice. That model is one of my favs and perhaps future rims for my Z. What's is the offset to make it sit flush with the fender?
