Ok so i really like these Rota's and yes i know they are 9.5 inches wide so how hard will it be to fit if I am lowered 1.7 inches in the front or 1.3 inches in the back... i searched around and there were a lot of rota's that were 18x8 but not 18x9.5. Plus will these make the car look absolutely ridiculous sticking out so far?
I wanna hear what the members of TGC have to say.

Here is the link (either bronze or silver not sure yet):

um buddy, with an offset of 20 and that width you will be sticking out like a mofo, I have 9.5 width out back, but they are a 35 offset and they are basically the limit as far as clearance, and I had to do some very heavy massaging of the fenders, I'm running 8.5 width up front, and they too are basically the limit, I am running a ton of camber out front and out back, so I'd stick to something 8.5 inches or narrower. those rotas will not work simply because they are designed for cars with much wider fenders than ours. I actually test fitted a set of P45s because I loved them, but no dice.

ya as the day went on i knew that they wouldn't work out... i'll prolly just go with the 45f instead they don't have the concave design but what ever.

greddy pretty much covered it...your not realy going to be able to get a real agressive wheel on the galant unless you widen the fenders. your best bet for a little of a concave look would be somewhere around 8.5 and really no lower then a 35 offset...you will obviously have to run some camber but there are people who are using this setup with pretty good success.

as far as the wheels themselves im personally not a huge fan of those in particular. i do like a few of the wheels in rotas lineup though. personally i think the torques (emotion kai replicas) look good on the galant.
