Re: smallest wheels on 11" rotor (audiimportech)

Re: smallest wheels on 11" rotor (audiimportech)

with my Wilwood kit I used 17" BBS RC's , they were great, but my stock 15" wheel would not work. I would guess a 16 would work and maybe a 15 with some crazy offset, but not likely.

Hope that helped

Im sure alot of 15" wheels will fit. Search in the roadrace/autox section, I know this has been talked about many times over there.

Or contact fastbrakes.

I have 15" Konig Heliums. I forget the offset though. I think it's 40+.

Re: smallest wheels on 11" rotor (88 rex)

15" wheel with a 40 offset will fit. I have a 38 offset and had to run a 2mm spacer. correction sorry i have the 12.2 kit so yours should fit easily

You can fit the 14 inch Team Dynamics wheel, as far as 15s goes they are quite a few that fit, it depends more on spoke design than offset, do a search.

Huh?

+38mm with a 2mm spacer is effectively a +36mm offset.

A numerically higher offset means the wheel will be positioned farther inboard in relation to the hub.

Re: smallest wheels on 11" rotor (audiimportech)

This all depends on the 11" kit you're running. If you're running stock calipers there are a ton of wheels that will fit. If you're running the wilwood calipers you're extremely limited. I have found few wheels that fit (without using a ridiculous amount of spacers thus causing fender rubbing issues because you're a 30+ offset).

My street wheels are Volk CE28N's, 15x7, 42+ offset with 5mm spacers (total of 37 offset).

My track wheels are Team Dynamics, 15x7, 40 offset, no spacer.

The team dynamics have a TON of clearance and the volks have quite a bit of clearance too. Some wheels that don't fit are as follows:

-15x7, 38+ Mugen RNR's
-15x6.5, 38+ Rota Grids
-15x7, 40+ Rota Slipstreams

*Please note that all of my comments are in regards to the wilwood calipers. If you're running stock calipers all of the above mentioned wheels fit.

Re: (gator88)

I noticed someone said the +38 offset RNR's didn't fit... Does anyone know if +38 MR5's would fit? That's what I currently have.

Based on the looks of the MR5, I'm going to guess they won't fit. It's my educated guess too as I have tried several wheels over my wilwood calipers. It's all about spoke design and the MR5's are rather flat.

you didn't need to shave the caliper at all?!
