Show us a pic of this 4 rotor 12 spark plug engine... my car has 4 rotors too, but they are stuffed in behind the wheels, maybe you mean rotAr. And what's up with making the custom rotar housings to accept the 3rd plugs along with a custom ignition system. And WTF is an all wheel drive suspension?
Just looking for some substantiation to your claims.

OK, read the whole thread (and ended up with a nice laugh at the end there) and now I'm a bit miffed.
I am looking for lightweight wheels for my '90 NA, and originally I had looked at the OZ Crono Evolutions, but the rack has them at a +45 offset, which seems way off for running 225/45/17 all around. The OZ Hydras, (which I'd want in a 17X8) I can't seem to nail down a weight for.
I'm not sure if this is the thread to be asking this, but am I going to be running into walls looking for a 17x8 wheel under 20lbs that will fit without spacers?
Also, other than tirerack and 1010, what online wheel/tire stores might have wheel weights and available offsets?
TIA,
-AM Urbanek

Most OZ wheels are heavy.
If you're looking for 20 lbs. or lighter in 17" x 8" size, your'e going to have to pay a premium for them.
I like SSR stuff - try the SSR Comp's?

Fitting 225 up front and 255 in the rears are pretty easy.

My wheel has about a 35 offset and the sizes are:
18"x9" Fittipaldi Wheel up front
18"x10" Fittipaldi Wheel on the rear.
No Rubbing.

How about old school Racing Beat 6-spoke 2-piece wheels?
17x8 F 35mm offset
17x9 R 35mm offset
225/45/17 front
255/40/17 rear
Edit: wow, question answered. Questionable, may need coilovers to run 255s in the rear.

You don't need coilovers to run a 255 with those offsets....

I think it would be tight inside, but would it clear?

Okay I have been reading this thread for awhile now and the more I read the less I seem to know. So I have a question for you. I found the set of wheels I want but they only offer them in 18 x 8.5 or larger with the 5x114.3. The offsets are +35 or +40. Will any of these work on both the front and rear with a 1" drop springs from RB? If so what tire size will I need to run? And will I need spacers or anything else to make them work. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Even with a 8.5" +35, it's going to get to tight inside unless you have a set of coilovers that allows you to jack the spring perch higher.
I think you need 1/4" or slightly larger to make them fit up front.
8.5" wide +35 will fit in the rears no problem.
