this is for the fronts only as i'm pretty sure i'm going 17x9et45 in the rear. ideally, i want to run a stagger - 8 in front, 9 in the rear - but i'm open to possibilities. i just want to keep the car's handling characteristics as neutral as possible (altho i know most trackheads on here swear by a 9" square set up).

is the general guideline to get a offset below +40?

what if i run square, will a 17x9et45 wheel clear the BBK?

from what i've seen on here it seems like the PMU brakes are a lil wider than most so fitment issues are abundant. any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

There is no general size/offset that is BBK friendly otherwise it would be the headline everywhere.

It very much depends on the spokes of the wheel you are running, but +40 or lower on an 8/9 inch wheel is a good start.

You should try reposting this in the Wheel/Tire forum or you can PM Beb. She works for Mackin Industries and helped me confirm my wheel size and offsets

depends on what kind of rim it is

how about 17x8 RPF1 with offset +45?

No.

Nope the way RPF1 are design u cant but wilwood will work i thiink

I thought the 17x8 RPF1s cleared, but the 9s didnt due to the spoke curve. Prodrives will clear and not need any work to fit.

i read this somewhere too. i think part of it is the step lip on the 18x9 wheel - which the 18x8 wheel doesnt have.

either way, i'm hoping a minor spacer should get the job done.
