Default Rotiform NUE

Hey guys, I'm really wanting to get a set of the newer style Rotiform Nues in a 19x10 +35. I have a 2000, so I'm pretty positive they aren't going to clear my massive brakes. Does anybody know how bad it would be though? I'm not opposed to running spacers, as long as it's not an inch thick. Just trying to get a little help before I pull the trigger on a bad deal.

you cant improve a 2000 LS, only change how it looks or runs... and I dont think they look good at all but in some neighborhoods they will be accepted as cool..
it is your car and money

Call them to verify about the big brake clearance. Their configurator states, "Sorry, there are no wheels currently available for this vehicle." Using spacers you'll likely need fender work and with the front wheels out more the rears will also need spacers to look right.

fairly certain those wheels will NOT clear the brake calipers without use of spacers. good new is that you may only need a small size, say 10mm (which will prompt you to get extended wheels studs though).

19x10 up front is pretty aggressive so depending on your tire size and ride height, you can make it work. i do suggest you consider something that actually fits without use of spacers. good luck!
