Noob here really trying to figure out if i can get a BBK setup (Akebono)... really need the help and advice from the experienced members here..

(ok my wheel specs are 19x9.5 +23mm front and 19x11.0 +15 for the rear.. I was told that the rear would clear a BBK.. and the front wouldnt (custom made to fit flush)... now... would wheel spacers help clear the BBK in the front along with a fender roll and enough camber to fit and not poke out.. (or am i wishing for too much) but if so what size spacer would you think i need? )

All are welcomed..... thanks

 

bump... ne one?

 

bump guys... really need some helpp..

 

mods please close thread

 

Its not so much a wheel size and offset issue as it could be a spoke design issue as well. I would think that spec wise you should be ok, but thats hard to tell until we see the face of the front wheels.

 

ok .. well the rims are Work T1s... so im not so sure if that helps in ne way at all regarding the spoke design.. but i custom ordered them.... so i dont even have them as yet...

 

have you browsed the Work T1S thread? Should be loaded with helpful pictures and content.

 

yes i have...see my mistake was ordering custom size rims...which at first i wanted to fit flush with the fender.. so the rep from Ravspec (vendor).. came up with the offsets above... then the BBK came to mind after seeing affordable kits (akebono)... i was told since i asked for the wheel to sit flush with the fender.. that it wont clear a BBK in the front ... i just want to know if adding a spacer would make the wheel poke out to much... or it would solve the clearance issue..

 

a spacer or even washers might do the trick, but that could require some additional camber to get your wheel to sit flush without too much poke like you are fearing. I would think a spacer in the 3-5mm range clear it, buts really just a guess on my part. You'd want to get some longer wheel studs too if thats what you are going to do.

 

what specs or you from rims if you dont mind me asking.. and thank you for the info.. im hoping that that i can use the smallest spacer and not have that fear of sticking out to much .. guess i have to wait till i get the rims to confirm .. but thanx

 

a +23 9.5" front wheel wont fit flush, esp if you are running under a 255 tire. you have PLENTY of room to add at least a 10mm spacer.

 

Now im not so familiar with what u mean by the "a".. i know rims have diff disc settings using the letters... and im not so sure what mines is... but if my rims r what you stated above that will be great news... i will confirm what letter it is... and get back with the info

 

The "a" in his sentence didnt mean anything other than being used to start his sentence, its not a reference to face style. I also agree with Str8dum1, the front size is not that aggressive.

Since you asked, my setup is as follows:
Forgestar F14 wheels and Hankook Ventus Evo V12 tires
19x10+20 with 285/30/19 fronts
19x11+23 with 305/30/19 rears

 

5mm to clear the caliper...

 

^ why do u run a 285/30 up front for??
