Thanks for the input. I don't know if they will clear brembos, but I don't have that package.

The only thing you "may" run into is people giving you a hard time about Jap wheels being on an American car. Not sure why, but I've gotten flack in the past for Rotas.

since no one is really answering your question, I will ;-)

i've successfully test fitted 18x9.5 +20 rota grids off fortune auto's time attack Evo and they cleared brembos and looked/fit perfect on the front with -2ish camber. The rear was about a half inch of poke.

so what im saying is +30 all around WILL work as long as you run a small (5mm) slip on spacer on the front and not too fat of a tire on the back.

Post pics once you get em on!

Thanks for answering my question. What do you think is too fat of a tire for the rear? I was planning on running maybe 255/45 up front and 275/40 or 285/40 out back.

I would love to see pics on a Mustang. I came from an S2000 and I loved the shit out of several Rota combos.

Still haven't ordered the wheels yet, but I will post up pics as soon as i get them mounted. I was thinking of going with the 2.2.1's, but just decided rotas would be easier to get a hold of.

S2000's are amazing cars! My brother had an AP1 that he adored hah.

So a 295 won't fit?

Not with a 30mm offset. We're running a 43mm offset (Vorshlag 18x10) and the rear is close once you put real tires on it. But if you want "stance" and a poke style wheel with a 245 stretched across it, then the 30mm offset might work.

Bringing up an old thread...I have 19x9.5 +38 rota grids...will they clear the brembos and will there be any poke? I would like to retain as close to stock as possible as my brembo packaged wheels.

Interested in this as well. Trying to find a good offset to fit these wheels with 275's.

I'll be the guinea pig.

19x9.5 +38. They fit with at least 3/8-1/2" clearance. No problem:

Need tires and to set it on ground for poke, but should be around 1/8-1/4" poke.
