Rota grid drift

[Sc22]

Hi any one who knows about wheels and offset ect would be a great help as I'm clueless
Basically I want to know if these rota grid drift will be a straight fit they are

5x100 et23 9.5 all way around would I need spacers or anything? The guy reckons they are made to fit the golf suspension and other vag models including cupra r any help would be great thanks

I had these wheels in that spec on my Bora, to look good it had to be really low, and therefore needed arch work.

Iv seen a photo of them on a leon on here looks quite nice

Could need spacers looking at the offset.

I don't think they fit behind the front arches, you'd need the wide arch kit which is modified front bumper also, look at murderedlcr's lcr or ph him about it

Yes it's his iv been looking at, not looked through the whole thread and if I have to get all the widening kit I won't bother then I thought you might of been able to roll the arches

No chance I'm running 8js and they just fit in the front arches. So 9.5 would be very difficult. At least rolled an pulled arches.

I believe I remember seeing a post on Facebook from rota they now do VAG fitment rota grid drifts maybe worth a look.

Made specifically to clear the Mk4 VW Golf suspension (also fits Audi A3 and S3 5x100 models, and various other VAG group cars - Seat Leon etc)

Very wide wheel for the perfect stance on the VW
That's what it's says about the ones I'm buying

Here's my Bora, and my Brother's Bolf, on 18x9.5 et35. No spacers, the inner lip of the front wheels touched the coilover body slightly, I solved this by grinding away the threads at that point.

In these pictures I have 2.5mm washers under the bottom bolts of the rear stub axles on the Bora to give some camber and allow more clearance at the wheel arch. I don't recommend running that much camber though, it ****ed the tyres in 6000 miles and handled like a half filled bath.

Note, these wheels are not for drivers, they're for posers, don't expect to be able to corner very quickly unless you're planning on pulling the arches a fair bit.

No Rear Camber shims fitted in these pictures:

Looks good mate iv spoke to another lad on here who runs them and he said he has had not problems so it looks all good

Ye same as them in black

Leons have a natural camber anyway when lowered a decent bit. Not had these myself but running 18x9" rears, ET35 on 15mm spacers lowered to the bottom of my coilovers and haven't noticed any rubbing yet!

They look smart, saw a picture of them on a cupra r the other day. Would post it but can't yet as I haven't got my 15 posts
