Default best rims to clear a 6 piston wilwood brake kit

I bought a 6 pot wilwood break kit for my accord and the Calipers are HUGE. So damn big that I had to sell my Racing Hart CR's. Does anyone know of a set of wheels that will fit the kit, preferably Volk or Racing Hart. I need damn near an extra 15mm to clear the kit. KELP!!!!!!!

I have a six piston wilwood kit on my civic and i had to get some 15mm spacers.Bought them off of ebay. I'm running 16x7's 5zigen's. Before you buy more rims just make sure not to get to much offset so that the rims tuck in the back. I know volk makes te37's with 25mm offset. Other option get different offset for front and back.

hey, with those spacers, do your wheels poke outside the fenders? and have you had any problems daily driving? (in regards to the bearings and suspension) I have a rim shop delivering me 1 wheel with a 51 offset to check the fitment.

willwood has no specs at all for the kit because it is a special made kit from Brian at fastbrakes.
