Exclamation 20 inch Work VSXX with BBK 6p & 4p.

ok guys need to pick your brain or if anyone has seen any threads with this info please post for me.

I have the rotora bbk. 6p & 4p and im trying to get some 20s vsxx. but the issue is that offset that i want will not clear the bbk.

20x9.5 +low teens. trying to get biggest lip and sit flush (like everyone else)

im looking for pics and specs mainly the front that will clear this big a$$ caliper

i know most guys on here have 19/20s but dont have aftermarket bbk or have the oem brakes or even oem brembos. I am not looking for this info only for aftermarket 6p and 4p. Thanks alot for any info that you may have.

Steven-

big front lip + flat spoke design + bbk is going to be difficult.

Offset has nothing to do with caliper clearance. Even with a high pad, the flat spoke design of the VS-XX is going to make clearance a nightmare. Almost positive you'd have to use spacers. MartyG35 runs VS-XX with an Endless 6-pot/4-pot setup (with spacers).

i know but he has a higher offset and 19s. im looking for 20s with offset in low teens maybe single to get flush fitment. i'll figure it out. thanks for the info guys.

what about 20x9.5 +17 R-Disk? You'll still get a 2.8 lip up front and if you still dont have clearance, you can use a small spacer and still be good on fitment.

you wont be able to have vsxxs with a big lip unless you run spacers which will lead to some rubbing

spacers will not affect lip size. spacers will not always lead to rubbing.

offsets DO NOT affect whether or not wheels will fit a BBK kit people!!!! Its the DISK that determines BBK fitment. On MOST applications the high disk will fit MOST BBK fitments

T disk is the route that i am going to go with single digit offset. just now playing the waiting game.

offset has nothing to do w/ brake fitment, (on multipiece wheels)

with multipiece wheels, the backpad determines the brake fitment,

think about it like this "regular brake fitment=starting point"

now u wanna run 25mm larger brakes... so you must create 25mm room behind the spoke with the same offset, which decreases lip by 25mm..

so.. for a T disk, 33mm of lip is lost.. which still leaves you with around 3-3.5" of lip, which isnt bad at all..

the rear, the rotor is setup differently and even with a bbk you dont neccesarily have to run a high disk, which means loss of less lip..

single digit offset isnt smart,

btw you already ordered wheels?

Spacers will allow you to have a bigger lip with a brake kit

spacer will kick out the wheel.. which means.... you dont gain anything regardless of how you try and explain it..

spacer makes offset lower... so if u just bought those wheels with lower offset and bbk fitment then ud get the same lip as the wheels w/o bbk fitment and spacer..

their is really no reason to use a spacer when you can order wheels for bbk fitment.. the only excuse i can see is if you buy someones old wheels that were not bbk fitment, but in that case a spacer will kick em out
