I want 18x9.5 inch all round, rears im fine with +38 but for the fronts its hard to find out exactly what offset i would need.

I would prefer no gaurd roll back can do if scraping.

Would +35 front be ok?

im running 18x9.5 + 22 235/40 on the fronts lowered with coilovers and it clears everything fine even on full lock, except for going up inclines(ramps and driveways) with the wheels turned then itl scuff the guard lip (mind you the car could be raised a good 10-15 odd mm to fix that because it has dropped below limit or i could just roll my guards)

it pokes a little bit and given the stretch on the tyre its really a preference on the "stanced" look it gives (it was the biggest tyre i could run under there) i never choose the "thug life"

i wouldnt run anything higher then +22 on a 9.5 wheel on the front to be safe maybe a +24mm at most but that would be pushing it

id stick with a 8.5" wheel on the front and run with the lowest offset so a +30 or some thing that should give a somewhat neat flush to lip look (maybe spacers if your into them)

Looking at getting a set of these...

Can someone tell me if they will be too agressive for the front.

I Have trial fitted a set to the back but not the front as time was limited.

Need some help im thinking of getting Rota Grid R's....

Car suspension = stock, might want to lower alittle but no guard work if possible...

1. From what I've read for 18" 9.5 with an offset of 35 this will fit the rears almost perfect flush right?

2. I can't get 8.5's with the specific Rota's i want so if i was to get 9.5 what offset would sit flush for the front?

Thanks

9.5 with + 30 would stick out a bit. Trying to fit a 9.5 on the front is hard any chance to run a 9? (i would personaly recomend a 9" on the front) 9.5 is to much because you have to run a stretched tyre to be "legal"

ok so i just did a quick calculation for you and the size for the front would also be 9.5 + 35 BUT the problem is im not sure if it will clear your springs. 9.5 on +30 will stick out about 6mm from the guard and it means youl have to probably have to runn a 235 tyre

I had 9.5 +38 test fitted on the front without a tyre and it was touching the suspension on full lock.

8.5 +30 fits perfect, no guard rub no guard work, normal tyre.

9.5 +30 will probably be quite close to the suspension especially on full lock but it may just fit. However it will poke out and may need guard work not to rub.

Maybe rota does custom orders?

Thanks soo much guys really appreciate your help... I'm thinking I might do this...

Rears: 18x9.5 +35 Rota Grid R (more concave look)

Fronts: 18x8.5 +30 Rota Grid (more flat look)

This way I will clear the suspension...

Hopefully they can do customs it would look better with concave look at the front too

Yeah im not to sure about the mixed matched rims, but i guess you dont really have a choice. Have you thought about saving a little extra to buy a better quailty wheel? My rota wheel cracked after 10k km under normal road use..now i have a set of rotas and a cracked wheel sitting around doing nothing haha

Hey I have a GTT and I'm getting 18x9.5 et15 all round 235/35/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the rear what well I need to do to get them to fit nice like do I need to roll the guards or anything

Definitely a guard roll on the front, back might be okay(no roll) but will probably poke out a lot.

Also those tyres will be stretched on the front.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
