Question about Rotas, tire size

Hey everyone! I am thinking about getting 17" Rota Subzeros. I am looking for the best place for them, and who carries them in Royal White (white with polished lip). Also looking at wrapping them in 215-45 Dunlop Sport Maxx's. Can I go wider without rubbing with stock suspension? Any input would be helpfull!

Good luck finding them. I tried a few months ago (probably called about 15-20 different places) and even places in Canada. No one had them in white. I wound up going with something else.

i think rota is switching productions to make all colors with the polished lip, so you might be able to find them... gtmwheels.com for one...

i was looking for flat black subzeros, and they told me at least 4 months wait... i went with royal black and it was there the next day

I have flat black 17x7.5's with 215/45's on mine with M7 lowering springs and no rubbing.

Mine were ordered through the local discount tire store and it took a couple of weeks, but they got them for me. They order straight from the Rota distributor in America. They also told me that Rota was doing something weird with production now, I wanted 16's but they told me 4+ months and that was from the importers info, not their stock. So I took the 17's they had and love them.

You can also look in this thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...=rota+subzeros for recommended dealers. But you can also see all the places I called and had no luck with. Maybe since it has been a few months someone might have them in stock.

I could only find two in the color I wanted (white) so I had another two powder coated to match.
