    Hi ive Got a set of Rota GTR's They are 18x8.5 all round and ET 30 off set.

    What tyres would people recommend ? I was thinking of stretched tyres and what spacers would people use front and rear ?

    Ive got a set of Apex Coilovers going on the car also.

    Any comments and advice would be great

    If my offset is ET3O, what spacers will i require for the above ?

    Am i going to need arch modification to get these on ?

    What about stud lengths etc ?

    What i am going to need to do to get these to sit well ?

    Sorry its all new to me as i have standard alloys on at the moment.

    I have apex gen 2 coilovers to fit also

    Depends on height really, but I have 30mm lower height with 9.5's on an et10 (et30 with 20mm spacers) and mine just rubbed the rear arches with 225/40 on front and 235/40 on the rear. Small lip roll cured it. So I'm presuming with 8.5's you will be fine for arches. I'd go with 15-20mm spacer at least to get it looking sweet.

    Hope this helps.

    Yeah i'm planning to fit some spacers and get the lips rolled eventually. I just want to get tyres and alloys on then get it taken for MOT then i can start playing with sapcers etc.

    thanks for the input charlie boy

    I did order some 25mm spacers to go all round but ive just been informed that they are out of stock and wont have any for 8 weeks !

    Ive asked if they have any 20mm spacers in stock

    where did you get your spacers from ?
