i was thinking about getting a set of these wheels, and tires.... wat do u guys sugest... and what tire size would you guys recomend. also what PSI should i run on?... these are jus for autocross not for street use (jus to let u kno .). thanks for the input in advance [pray] [race]
most 16" rims will fit, this is probably going to be moved into either racing rally autocross forums, or the wheels/tires forum btw. You'll get much better responses there, and check this forum for info:http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83864
welcome to FF btw, and the search button is your friend
16s are better for autocrossing and it's most 15's that won't fit our front[/b] brakes. i autoXed with a svt that had 18s and did remarkably well, better then I lol but i had sucky street tires.
and thanks miniboom i'll put this in the right place [thumb]
I just autox'd n july w/ a buddy that has a infrared SVT focus w/ 16 in rota slipstreams for track duty.
He didnt have any clearance issues that i know of.
g luck and nice choice.I run falkens and love em.
Scrammer, the only reason we all have slipstreams is because they are the only ones available in the exact size and bolt pattern. Don't you think I want a set of Volks? Find me some 16x7 +45mm 108x4 Te-37s and I'll buy them immediately.
For that matter, find me ANY wheel as light at the 13.3 lb Rota for $500 shipped to my door. It's not about looks, it's about racing.
I have the 16x7 Rota Slips with 215 size Falken Azeni RT-615s. Awesome combination! And the whole set cost $930 shipped new.
^^^Word on the lightness. That's why I picked up some 16" Rota Grids. svtff1213, maybe start with 40psi all around, then feel the car and make adjustments.
when i ran my 16x7 kazera's and i put about 42 up front and 36 in back and i had no roll over, was perfect, but it all depends on your suspension setup, just start a lil higher like 48 and see how much roll, prolly wont be any and just keep deflating til theres just a tiny bit of roll along the side grip part
almost all 16" wheels will clear SVT brakes. there are even 3 models of 15" wheels that will clear (team dynamics pro race 1, and 1.2, and OZ superlegera). Rota are light wheels, good for racing, as well as team dynamics, and OZ, and centerlines etc.
I have the TD PR1 in 15" over my SVT brakes. it can be done. my wheels weigh ~13lbs without a tire
Did everyone running Rotas (Grids/Slipstreams) find the 45mm offset? I've been watching the Rota availability page, and I'm only seeing 40mm offset, but I could swear I've seen 45 in the slipstreams at least.
