Brake clearance question
 

Does a wheels offset come into play for brake clearance or is it based more off the spoke design and width? I know 18x10.5 et30 Enkie NT03M's will clear the AP 6 pots and the base 18x8 et43 will as long as the wheel weights are moved, but does that also mean the 18x9.5 et27 will? I know I could always buy one wheel, test fit it and see but I would rather not have to do that. SSR type F's are my next choice.

it's both wheel offset and the shape of the spokes. if you get wheels like my weds, then even a ET38will have plenty of clearance on the back of the spokes as the spokes protrude concave past the rim lip. :yum:

on the other hand, a pos varrosoten (sp) te37 look a like with +22 does not clear the front sport calipers.
