Anyone run a BBK with these 20" GT-7's?
Car is in storage now>> winter.
I am looking at the Stoptechs 6-POT 14" front & 4-Pot 14" for the rears.
Any help would be fabo!
Here is my wheel information.
Volk GT-7
(Front) 20 x 9.5 +22 offset
(Rear) 20 x 10.5 +24 offset

You'll need to do a physical check on caliper clearance on the wheel using a printout Stoptech can provide you. The offsets, particularly the rear, sound like the ones for aggressive lip / low caliper clearance which would mean high risk of a BBK not fitting without spacers.

I got to inspect this weekend. I remember having 2 finger gap between
rear caliper and spokes of wheels when I was cleaning back there. hmmm
Two finger gap is not a wheel fitment chart. Don't be lazy and careless unless you're ready to deal with the consequences as most BBK manufacturers will not take bag a brake kit if you find out it doesn't fit after you've opened the package.
Trust me. I had GT-7's with a 10.5" +24 rear and ended up replacing them once I got my AP Racing BBK because they didn't have enough space. BBK calipers are much wider than your stock ones

Look at Ray's offset chart

What size spacer did you have to go with?
And thanks for the other info!

I didn't use a spacer, I bought new rims because I wanted more clearance and didn't want to push that +24 offset out to something like +14. We estimated that a 5 mm might work but 10 should've done it.
