Fronts will be Rota P45R2 18x10 +12.
Rears will be Rota P45R3 18x12 +20.

Just waiting on conformation that the fronts will clear brembos, the Rota dealer sounded confident they would clear but I want to be 100% sure.

 

I am keen to see what the fitment on that is like and how much massaging the guards need.

I am looking at changing wheels to the same sizes, but am so unsure about the offsets!

Those are the only offsets available from Rota at those widths that would fit.
To fit them the front needs rolling and the upper control arm brackets to be drilled to add 3* negative camber.
For the rears I'm going to use a replacement bracket from Performance Suspension that allows the turn in of the guard to be trimmed.
I believe that's the best way to go for the rears as I have heard of the guard kinking easily when rolling.

I will have to check out these brackets, I definitely like that idea more than rolling the guards too much.

Will look tough with that much neg in the front, just dial a bit of toe in to combat the tyre wear.

Pics when they arrive (7-10 business days), ordered them in silver this morning.

Also the stiffer 12kg coils feel 100% better than the 9kg that were in the shockworks. Yet to lower the front properly, will do it tomorrow arvo.

So the new springs are sorted and I much prefer the stiffer setup, feels like it wants to handle now.

Its currently at this height. Which is too low but it works and I CBF buying new QA1 shocks again.

Then I picked these up this morning. Wheels should arrive this week coming but may be a few weeks to fit them up as camber brackets and guards still have to be sorted.

Hankook ventus rs3 285/35r18 and pirelli pzero corsa asimetric 335/30r18
The the lefts were on sale at a ridiculous price so I got two of those and will get a right once all the guard work is sorted so I don't rub a $800+ tyre out if there's an issue with the guards (the right rear has the higher chance of rubbing due to the pan hard bar).

255/35r19 next to 335/30r18

And some more shiny in the bay.
