I am really shocked that the wheels dont fit over the brembos. They must be bigger than I thought they would.

What about a pair of +40 Sevas to match the rears? If you ran a 15mm spacer on the front would they clear? How much to they need to come out to fit?

Only the rears come +40, and I dont want that huge lip in the front. I will check with Sevas again, but I think the 1 piece are all the same, forged may be this way

Not true, they both come in +25 and +40.

+40 has a smaller lip. As the offset gets higher the face of the wheel is closer to the edge. This will give you more space for your brakes.

So Tim you saying that the +25 will have a bigger lip than the +40. Man maybe I should buy one of those will and put them in the rear for the wannabe staggered look.

Edit: Btw way, if they dont fit with a +25, I dont think they will fit with a +40 and a spacer. Because with a +25 it pushes the face away, and the +40 will be closer in. So even with a 15-20mm spacer it will still be to close. Correct me if I am wrong.

The +40 sevas have a smaller lip so the face is further away from the hub thus creating more clearance. If the +40 doesn't clear, he can still adjust with spacer and will give him more space than it would with +25, he's just giving up the lipage.

Ok, I will get a measurement for my brakes and for the sevas, so try a +40 in the front.

Yeah, get a measurement and see how much room you need. You should be able to send that to Sevas and find out if the +40 S22 will clear.

How much more of a lip does the +25 have. I cant see it being a big difference. Sorry for jacking your thread.

It's generally true that lower offests have more lip on multipiece wheels, but it's not the case most of the time when it comes to 1 piece wheels.

I know the Sevas 10" +25 have more lip than the +40's, I have seen them side by side.
