Default Does Rota have the correct offset on 15's?

I got into the groupbuycenter GP on Rotas From LostProjects. And I was on the ClubSi board and saw an old post about the offset being wrong on Rota Subzero 15"s, I will ask LP when I call tommorow but just checking with ya'll also. I hope they increase handling and give me a tenth or two due to less weight 13.5LBs VS stock 18LBs steelies. Thanks

Don't quote me on this, but I know someone with 15" Slipstreams and he says the offset is 38 or 35, can't remember. But his car is also slammed, and he's never mentioned anything about problems. But then again his fenders are rolled, hmm...

most i've heard on rota subzero 15" are 40mm offset. from what i've heard from people on HAN is that on 15" even at 40mm offset, it would not rub. but on some other sites, i've also read rota subzero and slips having a 42mm offset. so better call in and check prior to buying.

did you need to use camber kit for the front and back for that much drop?

camber barely changed in the front. i had to add two washers to the back to correct the camber there which took about 20 mins. now they are lookin' nice and straight.
