Rohanna makes their wheels in specific offsets and sizes. Some will fit perfect and some have to be made to fit with spacers/grinding etc... Are you using the RC7? Think that is one of the few wheels they have in our bolt pattern with a +42 for the front and a +45 for the rear.
The factory front wheels are not hub-centric and are lug-centric.
they are the RF1 series. I don't know about all the other technical stuff.

They look sharp! I'm using Rohanna wheels as well. The RC22
Display MoreFront oem is not +45, I think it's +35
Front +35 offset , 5x114 bolt pattern, and 66.1 mm hubsize
Rear +45 offset, same everything else

"The factory front wheels are not hub-centric and are lug-centric. "
I havent pulled mine off yet I still need to get tires for the new Rhoanna wheels I have. but I would guess like all OEM mfg they make the wheel with the exact same hubsize as the slingshot at 66.1 mm. so there is no need to get a hub adapter to center the wheel while you tighten the lug nuts. sure you can go lug centric meaning that the lug nuts are whats centering the wheel as you tighten. Hub centric means the wheel is centered by using the center hub of the wheel and then you just tighten the lug nuts.
Front offset is +42. 5x114.3 bolt pattern front and rear hub sizes are slightly different front to back, but 66.1s will work.

I see from the dark side forums =
SlingShot SL:
Front Wheels 18X7.5 with +42mm Offset / 43.5 lbs with tires
Rear Wheel 20X9 with +45mm Offset / 53 lbs with tires
The SL's premium wheels are wrapped with 225/45R18 up front and 255/35R20 in the rear.
SlingShot Base:
Front Wheels 17X7 with +42mm Offset
Rear Wheel 18X9.5 with +45mm Offset
The Base gets 205/50R17 up front and 265/35R18 in the rear.
Lug nut Pattern is 5X114.3 for both
Keep in mind that while the size of the wheel is measured in inches, the offset is measured in Millimeters (mm).
What most people will look for is a wider rear tire... The main
concerns with going with a wider rear are: keep the rear tire centered
and not rub the swing arm...
So let's start with our center point. The rear offset is +45mm which is the center and keeps the wheel dead centered.
Ideally you will go for a wheel with +45mm offset...
The highest number (in my opinion) that you can go without noticing that the wheel is off the center is +/- 10mm
The higher the number of the offset the closer to the swing arm
The lower the number the farther out from the swing arm.
In other words:
+55mm will be 10mm closer to the swing arm (off center to the Right) Wheel cannot be too wide.
+35mm will be 10mm farther to the swing arm (off center to the left) Wheel can be wider.
What tires did you get with this price? They really set the Sling off. Nice choice.
