I went with the 215/245 setup just so I didn't have to roll my fenders.
Also, I need to find some center caps that fit. When I put the rim on, the center cap just pops off from hitting the axle nut. I need to find some that are the same diameter and are deep enough to clear the axle nut. I wonder if Works or SSR center caps would fit? That would make people think I have the real deal.

hehe i just bought some stock ap2's instead. the rims were too "stunnaish" for me. they look good but i just don't like how it makes the car look. maybe if i was lowered, exhaust, and other silly stuff then yeah but a stock car with those wheels looks out of place
sounds good doode shoot some pics to see how it looks...

Plus, rockin real center caps from work or ssr would make you look like a poser if anyone ever noticed they were really rota's. Dont be ashamed to roll on the rotas!

I've read all these posts and I'm still confused. Say I get these wheels( +48 in the front and+50 in the rear) and put 215/40 in the front and 245/40 in the rear. Will I need to roll the fenders if I'm lowered 1.5 inch?

I just put my on the other day and even with the 245's it looks like I might have to roll the fenders. I'm lowered 1" and I'm sure if I hit a bump hard enough, I'll bend a fender. That 1.5" drop may be cuttin it close for just drivin it safe around town. Now tat I'm going to roll my fenders I'm sad I didn't just go with the 255 width tires.

Bumping this thread back up. I'm thinking about buying the 18's from Urban Import since they are available in hyperblack/gunmetal. The size and weights I've got down, but....
Anyone with a solution to the center cap issue? That's a potential dealbreaker for me as I like to put the OEM center caps on my aftermarket wheels.
