Rota Subzero Width Question

Hey guys i have a quick question. I am shopping around for some Rota Subzeros and it seems they only make 18X7.5. I would prefer a 18X8 with a little lower offset. The 7.5 have a 45 or 48mm offset. Would i need spacers to make the wheels look right since they have such a big offset? How big of spacers would i need. Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Also if you have any pics of a beige 4th gen with Subzeros on that'd be awesome. I know 1FSTMAX had them on his old beige max, but i can't seem to find pics of them on.

You wont need spacers with 48 offset, although i wouldnt recommend getting them. You will need to purchase slim lugs because stock lugs are too fat for subzeros, and because of the slim lugs and wrong offset, only 3/4 of the lug will actually be on the stud. This is pretty dangerous, i know by experience. Dont get the rims unless theyre under 40mm offset. I had 48mm subzeros, i could drive the car, but it started to shake after 70mph.

I have been wanting Subzeros for a long time. But I started liking the Riax Zuka rims (you can find them on ebay easily). But seeing 1FSTMAX's beige car with the Subzeros again is making me possibly change my mind again.

Thanks guys.

Thanks 1FSTMAX for the pics. He had 5mm spacers in the back. They looked pretty good! Its hard to compete with those black te37's though

Anyone else expirience shaking after 70mph like white97gxe? I now have some volks lined up for my car , so I won't be getting these. But thanks for the help. Hopefully this thread will help out any other person looking into subzeros, cause they are awesome for the money.
