I could drive that IS in new zealands broken *** roads after the earthquake. Zero poke and huge lip kit. Underside of the body is tucked away nicely.

I'm getting illest tattooed on my neck.

Question for you guys.

I was looking at some used Eurolines, specs are x9.5 +11 A-disk and x10.5 +7 O disk. I know that is regular disk and deep-rim disk, problem is I have factory Brembos. Looking at the pics, the front disk doesn't look like it would clear. Anyone have any experience with these wheels and BBK? I'd be comfortable running a 15mm spacer up front, but that's as far as I'd go. I'm not near the seller so I can't test fit, and he doesn't have anyone to try it.

15mm is going to be more than enough and the front isn't aggressive enough to really screw you up if you do run a 15. But honestly, you might just need a 5mm spacer. Brembos really aren't that big so they don't need a tonne of clearance!

Looking at how backspaced my factory wheel is, it looks like they need a ton of room. I'm just nervous to pull the trigger

Stock vs the exact wheel I'm looking at.

The factory wheels also have a TONNE of space from spoke to caliper. Mid disk is usually good to clear LS400 brakes and Lexus GS brakes which are about the same size as OEM brembos, so if they don't clear without a spacer, it's only going to be by a hair and you'll need a small spacer.

Even taking into consideration how flat the faces of the Eurolines are? The factory wheels seem to curve a lot which makes it have the illusion of a ton of clearance. The disk on the factory wheels is just huge. I just wish I could be 100% sure.

With a 15mm spacer you're sure. Even a lo disk with a 15mm spacer will probably clear your average size BBK.

I think I've seen the ones you're looking at. They've been up for sale for a while. Tell him to go fit them on an STI or G35 with brembos and see if they fit if you really want to confirm it. (for that matter you can test them on a 300ZX, a Supra, an LS400/LS430/LS460 Etc) He has to know someone with a skyline lol

He was going to test fit them on a Nismo Z but the guy doesn't have time and that was his only option. That was going to be my basis of comparison.

Well he's having a tough time selling them so tell him, figure out if they'll clear my brembos with a small spacer and I will take them, if not sorry no can do.

Done and done, he'll crawl for it lol
