Default J's racing front and rear calipers

Just wanted to ask if the work emo cr kai F 17x8 +47 and R 17x9 +44 offset would fit the J's racing BBK? or would i have to add spacers or need a larger rim?

more likely have to go with lower offsets. at least a +35 on the front so add a 10mm spacer.

on my fn01rc i had a +35 but i added a 3mm to clear. the rear im not sure...

paper thin clearance:

The rear caliper position is more or less unchanged from stock. No worries there.
More detailed info about the rears can be found here https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry13088749

I don't know about Works but generally you need at least a 40 offset or lower I doubt that a +47 will work with out spacers. However depending on spoke design / face other offsets will work. The real problem is what are you going to do with your fenders????

It depends on the spoke design and everything, but I think for Spoon calipers you need a +59 offset to clear w/ Work Emotions.

There's a whole thread on it in teh wheels subforum.

Sorry but there is no way a +59 offset will clear spoon calipers.

The confirmed Spoon caliper fitment for Work Emotion CR Kai is 17x7 +42 offset w/ +6mm spacer. J's calipers are a lot larger. The offset needed depends on the spoke design of the wheel as stated above which is why there are so many different recommended offsets.

I stand corrected. Does that fit in the wheel well without a stretched tire? I assume you would run the same rim size in the front and rear?
