808- That's balla! Nice pic too!

Take care

 

dam.......I have twins all over the place.....maybe I should sell my wheels.....hmmmm

 

At least we're all in different states.

 

why didn't you get the better offsets?

 

Needed BBK clearance. Front is +23 high disk and I still needed a 3mm spacer. Rears are +24 medium disk. I probably could have been a little more aggressive with those but I had to take a guess since JP was absolutely no help when it came to calculating clearance for the BBK.

 

well....either way.........car still looks good....those brakes are hot...any pics from the side? what are the specs on the brakes??

 

You could have run the +12 in the rear and the lip would have gone up to 107mm from your 95mm. The fronts would be a little tougher, the next step up would have been +11, and combined with your 3mm spacer would have put you at +8 with a 9.5 wheel. I might have worked, especially with your relatively conservative drop, but its too late to do anything about it now.

 

 

No dice on the +12 rear. That's the next more aggressive offset in the medium disk setup but I don't have 12mm clearance to the caliper. It's about 8mm-9mm. As for the fronts, a +8 offset would have pushed the wheels out 0.6 inches. They're pretty flush now. I don't think I'd like them sticking out that far. I'm also switching to coilovers before the end of the month so the drop will be lower. Tires are 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 and the rear fenders are cut.


Thanks.

I don't think you read those charts right. A medium disk has the same amount of caliper clearance regardless of the offset or width. They get the offsets by using different width front and rear barrels. To get a +12 rear, they bolt a 107mm wide front to a shorter rear, which in effect shifts the center's mounting point relative to the barrel, but doesn't actually change the hub to bolt location, so you get the same brake clearance.

 

Yes, you're correct and your explanation is much better than mine. What I was trying to say is that the +12 rear would have pushed the wheel outward about 1/2" and would have stuck out beyond the edge of the fender. In order to remain relatively flush, I'd have to go with the +17 standard disk and then I wouldn't have BBK clearance. I suppose I could have gone with the +12 with more negative camber, especially after dropping it a little more.

 

I figured since robzone was running 11 +13, your 10.5 +12 would clear since yours would have 5mm more clearance, but in the end its your car and if you are happy with where its at that all that matters. You could consider running a 10mm spacer in the rear to push it out more, and maybe even a 10mm spacer in the front, it will make it look much more aggressive, and that 12mm of lip only equates to ~1/2" anyways

 

yes, you have, you rolled passed me on the 5 once.

 

I know I know Im in the picture
