Default "thinest" BBK ?

Right now i am running a 17x9.5 +44 Work XD-9 and 255 starspecs on all 4 corners. I need to figure out which Brake kit has the thinnest caliper allowing for the most clearance? i got bit by the DE/HPDE bug and cant stand my stock brakes now. What do you guys think?

I think those actually clear the StopTechs even in a +63 offset. Just print out the template from the StopTech website and check.

Probably Wilwood 6-piston. I've seen people use rear AP2v1 wheels and clear with a small 5mm spacer.

That's probably the worse for BBK fitment due to the smaller rotor diameter (the caliper sits very low and is wide)

right now im using HP+ pads, all braided lines, and amsoil fluid. Im also making 400-600whp (depending on what tune i run) i need something more. ill be checking my clearances for the wilwood kit and if that doesnt work, ill just buy some wilwood calipers (according to my research they are the thinnest) and have some rotors made that sit further in. and obviously custom brackets. wish me luck lol

try the stoptech fitment template on your wheels. 17x9.5 +44 makes me feel like you're going to have tons of space, but it all depends on your spoke design.
