Wayne350 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 hi I am about to buy Rota Grid drifts 9.5j all round for my 350. they are ET20. the wheel supplier said i shouldnt do 9.5 on front if i dont have camber and coilovers as the wheel will be poking our of the arch. anyone got pictures side on of the arch with 9.5 no spacers or suspension mods?. all i can find online are pics on a car side on not looking down the arch. Thanks Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'm pretty sure StevoD on this forum ran 9.5" Rotas at the front of his car, not sure what his suspension set up or anything is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne350 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 thanks for the quick reply yeh i found stevoDs info he posted somehwere: Wheel Size 19 x 9.5 / 19x10.5 Offset (front & rear) 20 both Tyre Size 245/35/19 / 275/35/19 Lowered yes (unaware but lowish) Spacer sized if used NA Arch work if necessary NA Rear Camber TBC So not much help as he doesent know haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) in that pic was lowered 15mm they will fit tho but i wouldn't run 9.5 all round if you don't need to get a 10.5 in the rear Edited June 21, 2014 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Wheel supplier is talking crap, they'll fit perfectly. But as Stevo said, try and get 10.5" for the rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne350 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 im going for 18s so dont get 10.5 only get 10 and not worth geting the 10 as there is hardly any difference to the 9.5 . StevoD why would you not run 9.5 all round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjf1985 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) The supplier doesn't know what he's on about. I've got 9.5J fronts with ET15 which means mine stick out 5mm further than yours will and mine is completely fine on standard suspension. I'd recommend going with wider rears too, 10.5J would be spot on. Edited June 21, 2014 by pjf1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 9.5 all round will be fine. I'd opt the for 10 rear if it's an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is designed to run a stagger front to back, you should stick to it for best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're taking about wheels here, not tyres Maybe so but they are still a staggered set up.

Wayne350 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'm running 9.5 all Round now so it works but the staggered setup was better so it i got 9.5 all round i will supposably lose handling. will that be noticable on the road as i dont use it on track?. i cant justify going rear 10s comapred to 9.5 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
