Hey all. after my buddyclubs got mashed I am looking for an affordable set of wheels and came across these koya RB

wheels. they look awsome and have an old skool flavour i like a lot.

my application is an R32 with 4 x 114.3 stud pattern. They also have to clear 296mm rotors with GTR callipers. but the offsets look to be a bit of a problem. I am looking at getting:

17 x 8.5 with + 4 for the front and my guards are stock. to these I want to fit 235's

17 x 9.6 with -19 for the rear and my guards are lipped and rolled 1 inch. and to these I will be fitting 255 semi's

Will these fit? can someone shed some light on the offsets? I am having trouble working it all out.

also does anyone know who else stocks them apart from otomoto? if these is a place in melbourne that would be great!

thanks!

Just to clarify, you have an r32 with 4 stud?

I just fitted 18x8.5 front to my r32 gtst at +30 and 18x9.5 rear +35 with rolled rear guards and they are fine at 100 mm ground clearance. if that helps.

So with +4 front and -19 rear you will need to have wide body guards to the tune of +20mm front and +60mm rear......

You could try and find the genuine article instead of ROTA copies, and get a wheel that doesn't have a reputation for breaking.

See if anyone's selling used Watanabes, if you want that JDM flavour. Minilites only seem to come in small sizes, like the Konig Rewind.

lolwtf... i've hardly heard of rota wheels.. are they really that bad?

Yes, they are. They're made in the Phillipines, a country not exactly known for its manufacturing quality.

If you're just ricing it on the street in a low powered car then they're fine, but I wouldn't run them on a good car being driven properly.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
