As you indicate, note that the listings are for 1 wheel only, not a set.

If they have more than 1 wheel available, get ET42's for up front and ET33's for the rear.

i'm sure they have more than 1 available. a quick call to discounttire would clear this up

no point in losing the ability to rotate your wheels.

hub spacers give you the same result. :)

Everyone runs FN01R-Cs. I like the Forged version of these wheels. The buddy club P1 wheels are not bad too. The weights seem to be pretty damn low.

in the grand scheme, nothing's lighter (for the money) than an RPF1 though. :drool:

Staggered offsets are a common fitment in Japan... and I am not a fan of tyre rotation.

as long as you run a 13mm spacer in the rear, i agree with this line of thinking

I am aware of their popularity in Japan, with these cars it makes sense.

Although, how can you not like tire rotation? I can understand from an autox/grip standpoint of running a wider front wheel/tire combo.

for the street unless you like throwing away $$ tire rotation is a great thing, that and the availability of Hub Spacers for the back there's no point in running a staggered offset on a street car. IMHO :biggrin:

i like staggered fitments.Although it is useless, fatter wheels look awsome in back. Anyone running a staggered setup on a yaris yet?
