    Rota torque's

    I'm about to pick up some rota torques of local craigs. 3 for a hundred, and then just get the fourth one for like 120, making a full set for less than 250 isnt bad. just wondering what size tires i should look for.

    my car is lowered on f&f type 1's and right now i have stock wheels and i get horrible rubbing. im thinking about getting my fenders rolled as well..

    any input? thanks all.

      What size are these wheels? 13"? 22"? That would help when picking a tire!
      Your best bet is to get the specs of the wheel, and go to one of the major tire sites. Look up a wheel with the same size, and see what the site suggests for a tire size. They will most likely give you two different aspect ratios... for example, 215/40/17 and 215/45/17... the middle number is the aspect ratio (which is like the height of the tire.) Personally, I would go with the higher number. It gives you a bit more tire, and protects your wheels from potholes and such. Rotas aren't exactly the strongest wheels made, so extra protection is good!

          i have Motegi Mr7s with 205/40/17s tires. Super sticky, love the low profile, no rubbing but my camber is set to 1.5degree i believe. 2.1inch lowered front.

            The sizes I listed in my example would be ideal, then. I would go with 215/45/17. It's a nice beefy tire.

            Just make sure you're getting a compatible offset... if the offset is wrong, you're going to have severe rubbing issues. I would stick to an offset between +38 and +42.

                    The higher the offset, the closer the tire is to the inside. Low offset would push it closer to the fender.

                        If you rub with OEM wheels, you will rub a lot worse with aftermarket wheels, especially at 7.5" width.

                        You'll need to roll and maybe pull to clear. Or you could just raise the car up until you don't rub.
