Rota P45-r....

Hey guys,

I have a VR '05 GT and I really like the way that the Rota P45-r looks on our 8's. Will this rim fit without any modifications? Is it heavier (which means less gas mileage and loss of handling, etc...)?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, can I get a similar looking rim (to the P45-r) which won't affect my gas mileage, handling, etc...? And also one that will fit on like the OEM rims without any modifications.

Thanks and God bless.

Ben.

Try checking the "Will It Fit" thread. Your answer should be in there and/or people who might be able to help

of course they will fit...of course they won't fit.........................depends on what size you get!

at the most basic level - yes the p45r fits our hub and bolt pattern...from there it's up to you and what size you order if it'll fit...

I'm actually new to the sizes and all so I'm not really sure what size the basic level is? Also, it appears that I'll have to take all the advice here and re-post this in the "Will It Fit" thread.

Thanks and God bless,

Ben.

Just determine what look you want then go from there. If you want stock size then just get them in the stock size.

Ok, well try googling it first. The question "will it fit"...u need to have a size to ask if it will fit. That brand and model wheel will fit...if u get the right size. Stock size is 18x8. Just sayin to look thru that thread b4 u post to get an idea of what size u want first, like 9k says...then ask if it'll fit.
