Default Brake Clearance and offset issues?

I am looking to adding some Bronze Volk TE37s at 16x8 on my GSR, I want to know what the correct offset is, and will they be able to be used with an Endless Big brake upgrade kit. The Endless site says it is possible for the kit to fit over some 16" wheels, I was wondering if anyone is using this setup? ANy help would be appreciated.

Why are you buying the Endless kit anyways ?

Just wanting to know...there are more ways to upgrade brakes.

I just think the Endless kit is a very capable kit. That is the same reason I am going to use Volk wheels, sure there are cheaper and probably better but these parts are high quality and I try to use the best on my cars. I like the Endless kit, I feel it's something that not everyone has on their cars. I know some people want to build their cars with a budget, but I try not to put a limit on my cars.

Well kudos to you. We all try to put good products on our cars, unfortunately some people don't have pockets that deep and can't afford some things like that.

anyways, good luck with your setup

I am sorry if I insulted you or anything like that, I know not everyone can have all the high priced parts, and I know there are a ton of grassroots guys who can make a helluva car with cheaper well matched parts, I am not saying anything negative about anyone and their cars and the parts they choose to use. I just want to help people out with info if I can and get info back in return. So here is another bump so someone can help me figure out the proper offset for the setup

As you know your best chance is contacting someone with the brake system you want and ask them to measure and take photos for you. You may want to ask in the ITR forum. However don't think there are many people who have the Endless system. Good luck.

There should be a way to find out the needed offset for the Endless calipers. I know that Wilwood has diagrams and specs of everything they make on their site, I'm sure there's something similar for Endless. Then, I'd also find out the same info for the wheels.

PS... You might have trouble craming 8 inches in your stock wheel-wells without rolling them or getting a wide-body kit, especially if it's lowered at all.
