VTO Retro 4
I'm thinking of swapping my 14X5.5 Panasports for some 15X7 VTO Retro 4 wheels. +18MM offset. I want a larger wheel and more tire options. I can get a screaming deal through a vendor friend of mine. Does anyone have any direct experience with these wheels?

No direct experience. But they look super nice. In most cases, a +18 VTO is pinky finger on both sides of a 195 60 in the rear. No worries in the front.

Re: VTO Retro 4
I have 15 x 7 VTO Retro 4 wheels, I got one of the first and mine are +12.
I have 195 x 50 on the front.....no problem.
I have 205 x 50 on the rear.....the fender are rolled just a touch and the inside touches on extreme rear axle angles, like running over a curb with one wheel

Phil, Big Thanks for working with Dave at FUTOFAB, manipulating the manufacturing of the VTO wheels to fit our cars better.fj20spl311 wrote:I have 15 x 7 VTO Retro 4 wheels, I got one of the first and mine are +12.

Center bores, offset choices, etc

Re: VTO Retro 4
So what is the correct offset for the roadster. +12 or +18?

Re: VTO Retro 4
+18 on most
Some +12 on the front and +18 on the rear.
You can always shim +18 to +12

Re: VTO Retro 4
Another vote on choosing +18 offset. My buddy has the same wheels, and they look really nice.

Re: VTO Retro 4
Thanks for the reply. I really like the Retro. The Le Mans are really nice as well.
