17x9 +25 front w/ 215/45/17 17x9.5 +20 225/45/17[/quote]
So after reading this and seeing the picture. Why wont 18x8 +35 fit on my car without camber or rolling? Im lowered on Espliers with stock struts.
The 17" is 1" smaller then the 18" I want yes. But 9" is wider and a +25 would make it stick out more then my 8 +35.
Can anyone confirm. Im really tempted to buy them and try it

my old slipstream that got destroyed from simple daily driving...
I always see this picture when people talk about the bad of Rota wheels. All I see is a 4x100 bolt pattern that I'm guessing was on a civic or integra. The 16x7 size makes me guess that they used a 205/ "40" tire which has no cushion for potholes. The wheel didn't crack it just bent which is what will happen easier on a one piece style wheel than a heavier 3 piece style wheel. I have work vs-xx wheels on my car but have had rotas on it and my turbo civic with no problems ever. I weighed my 15" slipstreams on my civic and being only 2 pounds heavier than true spoon wheels and saving $600+, I can use the $600 for better tires which will help performance better than a 8lbs. total weight savings. So those dents look fine to me they didn't break off.
