    the first one is the Rota Grid, the second is the Rota P45R

    i have a question about the grids, hopefully you guys can help me. the smallest they come in 18" width wise is 8.5 and the offset is 44mm, ive read on here that 8.5's are do-able and from what ive learned that the offset should be alright too? im just wondering what tire specs i should go with. thanks for the help guys.

    you can do 235/40/18 safely, but I personally would stick with 245/40/18 (what's the point of wider wheels if you aren't going to go with the wider tires too). May require a slight bit of fender work though.

    With that color the Rota P45R rims might look good.

    lol wow, these are the same rims im lookin into getting, so the P45R will fit on an o8 if its 17x9 with a 30mm offset? if so thats what im gonna do, tarmac black with the bronze wheels

    nice choice in wheels

    edit** im also dropped with no fender gap on d2 coilovers f that has an effect on what i can run

    Yes they will fit. With the 245/40/18 you will need to roll your rear fenders.
