ROTA P45 18 x 9.5 +20 with TIRES

I have a set of four Rota p45 wheels 18 x 9.5, offset +20, hub bore 67.1mm. They are mounted with Sumitomo HTRZ III's 245/40/18 front 275/40/18 rear. ~85% to 90% tread remaining. They are plasti dipped black cherry. Have a few small chips and scratches. Selling the wheels because I sold my supercharger kit and without it, I won't need these wheels. Asking $600 OBO. Located in Charlotte, NC. Pick up only. PM for fastest response.

[SOLD

They drive great. Staggered set up for better highway handling. You won't be disappointed with these wheels/tires.

How exactly does staggered help highway handling?

I've always considered having a wider of a tire in the rear increases grip in a rwd car. On the other hand, a narrower tire had less rotational inertia but less grip. So you're getting a car that propels forward with lots of grip at highway speeds that can also steer easily with minor adjustments to the steering wheel. Anyways, the stock setup is staggered, I'm sure there is a reason for that.

I have AWD so staggered wouldn't work for me .

Also the staggered look for our cars is mostly for looks. The reason for wider tires in the back is because HIGH HP cars squat and need the extra traction to put the power down. a 1" wider tire in the rear isn't really going to help accelerate your car.

But I am not here to give you a physics lesson.

A bump because your rims and tires are hella nice.

Thanks!!

The staggered setup not only looks great but I was running this setup on my g35 with vortech kit pushing 360whp and it hooked great. This package is perfect for someone needing that extra grip to put high power down or for anyone really.
