Rota Fighter Test Fitment
Hi All,
Does anyone have the above wheels in 17x9et50 17x8et48, or there abouts. I want to test fit one over my 4 pot calipers as OEM 17" with a 20mm spacer doesnt clear the caliper and i dont want to buy these wheels if they still dont clear. I am around Oxford so if anyone is local enough to possibly help me out with a quick test fit that would be amazing! Thanks John |
I have em mate, but am in Guildford so depends if you'd want to make the trip!
PM if so :) |
Thanks for the offer bud, will see if I can.
in the mean time, could you measure the thickness of the spoke for me from inside out? Weird ask but an OEM 17 wheel with 20mm spacer is same offset as this on front so the only extra clearance I'm going to get is the spoke thickness and shape of the spoke. Thanks! |
Can't you find a template online for these calipers so Tango can print it and see if it fits his wheel?

doh .... as said already |
If anyone can print it and check that would be great. Just need to print it as actual size not fit to page. It's A4 size but i was told to keep the printing settings to "actual size" not "to fit"

ok, now moving onto tyre sizes...
What tyre sizes should i run with these wheels. I've been given a range from the internet but its always good to ask people who are already running 8j and 9j wheels. Thanks |
All depends on what Tyres .... the ad08r that I run are very wide in comparison to the same size other makes . I’d stick to standard sizes as I have :thumbup: |
We need some context here. Are you looking for performance from this setup?
|
I track it so they need to be good.
PS4's are what I've specced but want to make sure I get the right width tyre for the wheels. |
I have ps4’s on my other car ... in my opinion in the dry and warmer weather the ad08r’s have far more grip and are also suited to track as well . |
I drove a car with a048 yesterday (sprite) and it was fantastic even in the damp but I drive my car day to day so need that ability to handle really wet if needs be.
what width do you run on the wider wheels? Do you stick with 215 and 245 or do you go 235 and 255 etc? |

But either tyre is very good to be honest |
Hi I have them, I'm in Kent, I have ad08r 215 45 front and 245 40 rear. If I hit a big enough bump or dip then the backs can catch the arch. I tried uploading a pic but its not working from my phone
