Very true. I am guilty of it. Should have researched more before I bought mine. If it weren't for a long wait to get wheels made by WORK, I'd sell mine and get the Gnosis GS5 or GS3.

If you want your WORK wheels to clear you brembos, you have to make sure that the front is an R-Disc face. If it is A-Disc or O-Disc in the front, you will not clear unless you run a spacer.

Unless your front offset with an R-Disc face is in the negatives, you can pretty much kiss having a deep lip in the front good-bye.

 

@ Lightout... i know you are.. but the more i hear it the more i want to change my set up..

@ Konxeptionz.. i have the O-Disc and i know they wont clear the BBK unless a spacer is added... what im looking for a clarification with the use of spacers.. since my fronts are +24... if i use a 10 mm spacer bringing my front offset to +14..would that be enough to give me that flush look... (forget about the BBK for now) reason im asking now becuz i plan to remove my rotors to have them resurfaced and i wanted to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by adding a V1 spacer one time.. can ne one chime in..

 

I'm only going by word of mouth and nothing factual, since I have yet to do it myself, but I've read on the forum that for an O-Disc to clear the front, you'll need a 25mm spacer or so.

As for your issue right now. If your front is a +24, go with a 20mm or a 25mm spacer and make it flush.

 

i read once that you were having problems with your spacer becuz of the holes on the back of ur T1s.... i have the same problem as well.. im assuming you didnt add ne spacers as yet?

 

Nope. I don't want to run a massive spacer or anything, so I need to do a test fit on a car with Akebonos and measure to find out exactly how small / big of a spacer I need to run in order to clear the fronts.

Regardless though, it will have to be a V1 style spacer unless I choose a 25mm V2 spacer that will clear the hub.

 

ok .. well im not worried about the BBK as yet.. thats most likely a 2012 thing.. i just want that flush fit... so my options are the V1 20/25mm or the V2 25mm to get the flush fit..correct?

 

I don't think they make V1 20mm/25mm spacers. They are just V2 only. You could do a max of a 15mm V1 in the front that would put you at a +9 which wouldn't look terrible at all.

 

o hai guise....

 

OP just buy these, get some coils, and then you can have the EXACT same setup as me

I will think about it- I need to make sure they will clear brembos. Send me pics of them on your car. So if your fronts were +10mm, that means they will clear brembos and have a good deep lip?? See, Im waiting on a price quote for a set of Iconz Forged 880zr - but I think they might be a bit over my budget. The T1's are nice and I've yet to see a set of bright silver on a LR G.

 

ok .. cool ill do the research on the V1 15mm spacers... thanks for your help konx...

 

There still in the box.. havent touched anything but the carpet in my apt.. and if you read the post between me and konxeptionz... that should give you and idea on whats needed to be done to make the fronts fits over brembos... pm me your email address and i will send you some pics of my rims..

 

Ok I will send. I understand that 20-25mm spacer (which I just got) will clear brembos for your wheels in the front, my question is what offset should you have gotten in order to clear brembos w/o any spacers?? +15 or +10??

 

Oh instead of getting the O-Disc... should have gotten the R-Disc... and to say what offsets i dont know .. trust me if i knew i would of gotten the correct offsets from the jump..i spoke to the vender and this is what he gave me .. i later found out about the BBK set up after i had ordered the rims.. by then it was to late..

 

With WORK wheels it isn't your offset alone that will help you clear your brembos. It is your disc face that also contributes to it.

You will need to run R-Disc face in the front to clear your BBK. O-Disc can be ran in the back and still clear a BBK.

Just remember, that with R-Disc in the front, unless you get offsets in the negatives, you can kiss having any kind of deep lip in the front good bye.

For instance, the lip of R-Disc +20 will be a LOT smaller then the lip of R-Disc -10. Take that into consideration as well.

Honestly, just buy Johnny's wheels and call it a day. I'm sure his set up will clear a BBK with no problems. And just like he said, you will have his EXACT set up.
