Above shows how it will all line up compared to stock setup (Using TD recommended fitment).

[Mazzy]

Front need to be ET20 to clear big brake setups. TDs in 16" are used for fronts as this is what Lotus used for this chassis.

[Danger Mouse]

TD said that those et's would fit. Not sure about none stock brakes. Et 20 sticks 'em out a hell of a long way. A lot of poke.

[Danger Mouse]

17s all round I think look better and tyre sizes make radius not far from stock.

[Danger Mouse]

Is the group buy looking to all buy bronze grids? How many are looking to buy 17 front and back in black?

[Mazzy]

ET20 Fronts is right as i have a set.They look like they will stick out a long way as your comparing against a 5.5" rim.

 

See my old posts where TD's are for sale by retailers (VX spec'd), they are ET20.

 

Oh, for the back ET30 is good.

ET 30x8.5?  It's not just about ET, tyre size need to be factored in to the calculation.  Do you need a rim that wide for the largest tyre you're going to be able to fit without serious rubbing issues?

Folling confirmation from Rota here's the final group buy offer.

 

 

Rota Grids

Colour - Bronze

Front - 7.5j x 17 et20

Rear - 8.5j x17 et30

 

£565 delivered per set

1. leevx2.2 2. leevx2.2 3. Mazzy 4. retry 5. ChrisS1

 

Timescale - 2 to 3 months depending on when we order (new orders are placed at the beginning of the month so if this is missed, it will have to wait until the following month).

10% deposit required (paid to Rota) prior to order being placed, balance paid prior to dispatch.

 

It would be good to get the deposits paid this month so we don't miss the April order date.

I've got et 30 and 8.5j wide rims on my speedster with a 245/40/17 streettyre (no semi) with LSS suspension (slightly lower than oem) . The tyres do not rub with me.

Maybe i'm just Lucky because every speedster/vx is not the same....

[ChrisS1]

Thanks for the feedback Tibby 8.5 rears sound ideal then.

[tibby]

When using a SEMI SLICK, do not  use a 245 /40 tyre. Those WILL rub!

Think 235/40 is max. for a SEMI to use.

A 235/45  semi, i Do'nt know on a 8.5j rim

[ChrisS1]
