I want to purchase 4 Rota Torque in 18x9.5 +35mm but I am not sure how it would look with 10mm sticking out from the fenders.

I know I need to roll my fenders but is there anything else I need to worry about?

THANKS!

I dont know if ya could pull it off or not

heres mine with 18*9 and +30 offset



I believe the best fit torques you can fit are 18 * 8.5 with +35 offset but have to be custom ordered.

i m running 18x9 +35offset all around
and i m running 265 tires too
also my car is lowered with coilover

i rolled my fender, and after that i barely have any rubbing issue
hmmm..may be i will rub when i go over speed bump when there is passenger on back sit or i hv heavy stuff in the trunk (only rear tho)

and i believe u r gonna run neg. camber right?

DOMINION

Yea neg chamber but not as bad as mine. So he should be good and not have to roll unless he wants some fat a$$ tires for the track.

This is great news!

I plan to run 275/35-18's on all 4 corners. I can roll my fenders no problem but I want to make sure I don't run into any other issues. I am not lowered either.

So whats the difference between the Rota Torque and Work Emotion CR KAI?

They look like the EXACT same wheel to me.

Oh no you didn't. Your going to **** a grip of people off with that statement.

Rota basically take the more popular expensive styles of rims and copies them. The big difference is the torque's are made from cast material, whereas the WORK are forged so they are stronger. Some are even lighter than the cast, in the case of the torque's, they do weigh less than their forged counterpart of the same size.

I can personally attest to the strength of the Rota's, mine got hit directly on the face of the rim at about 25 30, and it didn't even scratch the paint.

But my case may be a freak one but I'm still driving on that rim with zero problems.

Personally I am all for Rota's, I understand they aren't original and blah blah blah, It's a free market, you don't want someone to copy your design, copyright it.

risky business

i have 18x9.5 with 35 offset and 245/40/18 all around. lowered on s-techs. no rubbing, even under HARD driving

Well it turns out the Rota Torques are only available in +20mm offsets.

Back to the drawing board.

work wheels are not forged

These look really great in 18X9.5" - with nice concave to them, relatively cheap too!

Also, Rota can be special ordered in that size if you are willing to wait 2 months - well worth the wait IMO

They're flush... they don't stick out at all..

See my thread 18x9.5 +20.

So what's the difference between fake Oakleys and real Oakleys? Fake Nikes and Real Nikes? Fake Rolex's and real Rolex's?

To each, his own. Lets not start that fight again...

fronts are 245/40/18 and rears are 275/35/18

AntonToo

Fake Oakleys are using the logo and are illigal, which gets in the way of them creating quality products.

Rotas makes simular designs not brands - which is why what they do is legal, their quality is well on par with other sanely priced wheels and they've been around for a long time now - uber light subzeros in larger sizes are really the only rims they've made that have had some bending issues.

Who told you that?

Legallity was never a question. The point is, rotas are knockoffs/copies of the real deal. Some people care, some don't, as simple as that. I never once brought up the idea of quality, that was entirely you

the emotion CR KAi are not forged... look at any website that sells them


i'm by far not a rota fanboy, but the fact half the subey world uses them for rally racing should say something about their quality/strength

Yea fight fight! lol
