Default What the biggerst brakes anyone has stuffed under GSR Blades?

I have 11.1" plelude/Accord wagon brakes on my car, and was thinking of switching to GSR blades. Is anybody running this setup under blades? Or what setups are you running? It looks like there is a little room, but is it enough?

For those that nned pics:

My brakes, under my Koseis

Looks like there will be little clearance. Refresh me on offsets again, aren't blades like ET45 or ET50? How about Kosei's?

I'm not sure on my Kosei's offset. The Blades are 45.

Good deal. I would be sure to pull the rim off after some driving and make 100% sure that there isnt any rubbing you cant see though.

They are normal honda brakes, from several different cars.

90 EX spindals
94 accord wagon claipers, bracket ground down 1mm
97 prelude vtec rotors redrilled to 4x100

it is a pretty standard setup.

No but I'm sure there is one out there. This setup isn't uncommon by any means. Lots of people have done it. I've had mine on their for years. There was a website a long time ago that had a writeup about it, but I haven't been able to find it recently.
