Default Rims for big brakes

Hi,

I have recently mounted the D2 356mm brake kit on my EG sedan, but I have some problems fitting my rims now due to the fact that there is 5cm from the brake disc and out to the outside of the caliper.

Do anyone know of rims that would fit my set up?

My currently rims are Kosei K1 Racing17”x7 with an ETof 36 or 38, I can’t remember the ET exactly.

Normally the company tells the offset of the rims that you need in order for them to fit man. Just ask the company what rims they suggest matter fact, what offset are they (the rims you have)?

I asked D2 about what rims I should use, but they only sent me a couple of pictures of other cars running with this brake kit, and they speak very bad english ( just like me) so I didn't quite get the answer I was looking for.

I spent a few $ on this kit, but I also bought the Type top one nitrogen coilovers as well so I don't know exactly what I paid as I got them through my friends company

Can't buy spacers if you don't know your offset

Find out the offset of the rims you have or just post a picture of the rims you have and someone should know the offset. They you should be able to have a good starting point of what kind of spacers or rims to buy.
