ah didnt rota slipstreams biggest size come in only 16"??

also i think it depends on the offset....anything above 40+ might fit you probably got to test fit it.....

yea what he said. the thing you need to worry about the most is the offset. you shouldn't have any problem fitting a 215/40 on there as long as the offset anything between a +38 and +44 you should be fine.

^^^ i think he's right. i did some looking around and they make the 15 and 16 on 4 lug, but i couldn't find any 17's in 4 lug. maybe because its a new size they just haven't released the 4 lug yet?? i don't know but you should check into it

yeah, they're called regamasters, lol...you can find some 17" "spoon" wheels on ebay, but i doubt the size will be 8" wide!

regamasters are spoon rims, they are expensive and JDM. rota copied this wheel when they designed the Slipstream, and yes they come in 17x8's.

sry dude, i dont have slips. someone just photoshopped them onto my car. Also, if u cant find Slipstreams in 17x8's. Try Exel race? i think thats wat they are called. they are the exact same rim as the slip, and they have 17x7" wheels for sure, but not 17x8. I have seen them for pretty cheap too.

heres a quick link i got.

exel race



Those damn rip off even stole spoon logo's

ON 2nd look, they are a little different than the slipstreams. but i like them more.But i wouldnt order from wheelmaxx after seeing the post a right below this 1.

It shouldn't rub as far as I know unless your car is dropped over an inch. I'm running 15x8's with Hankook 225/50/15's and no rubbing problems. Now when I put my progess coilovers on it may be close but I won't know until I try.

Regamasters are Russian, not Japanese. Desmond makes Regamasters and SW388s and they're forged in Russia.
