Hyper Silver Rota Grids on Rally Red.

Here are some pictures of my Autocross wheels and tires. I finally tore up my stock tires enough on the track that I had to buy new tires before the next event. I decided to go wider since I compete in BSP and my car's major downfall was the stock Yokohama's.

Rota Grid 18x9.5 +20mm offset - Hyper Silver
Kumho XS 265/35ZR18
Stock Suspension.











I cannot wait for the next event at the end of November.



I know some people on here are going to ask why I went with Rotas instead of buying Volk, Gramlight, Ray's, or whatever much more expensive brand of wheels. The short answer is I autocross a lot. On average I buy 4 sets of tires a year and after one event my wheels are usually pretty tore up (You should see my stockers after the last event when I spun through the dirt and grass). The Rotas are somewhat light for their width, allow me to run a wider tire and I don't have to worry about a huge expense when I break them. So

Yes, I do.

But I'm trying to hold out for Coilovers. I really don't want to go with Springs. Some time after the holidays I hope to buy coilovers, which would be just in time for the beginning of the 2010 season.

With no drop, I'm assuming you didn't have any fender rolling issues as of yet? No rubbing?

You would be correct, No fender rolling or rubbing with the stock suspension and this wheel and tire combo.
