I'm wanting to run a 17x9 non-staggered setup with 255s all around.

The only problem is it seems that there aren't many decent wheels in 17x9 that will fit over the Stoptech BBK.

I've read the TSW Nurburgrings will as well as the 17x9 +48 949 Racing 6ULRs (which are out of production and appear to be out of stock everywhere).

Other than that though, what are my options?

Are there Volk CE28s that will fit? A little pricey, but I'm exploring all options.

Was really hoping the PF01s in 17x9 would fit, but it seems the ones in that sizing are all too focused on maximizing the lip, which kills the BBK clearance.

Any other suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

CE28s apparently fit with a 17x9 +54 but it is apparently pretty tight and a 1-3mm spacer is recommended. I believe the Advan RS and RZ fit easily in 17x9 +45. I don't think it has been test fit, but the Enkei NT03 has pretty flat spokes...the 17x9.5 +44 probably would fit. The Enkei RP03 17x9 +40 also probably works with how the spokes curve.

 

Rota Grid 17x9 ET42. I know it is not for the elitist. But it is a great wheel

 

You know for a fact it fits over the Stoptech BBK or just speculating?

How much does it weigh? Only other thing I would be worried about is strength. A lot of the replica wheels I've see are fairly weak. Not sure if rotas are the same though.

 

I'm not positive on StopTech BBK clearance, I know wilwood for sure, but you'd have to call Emilio at 949 racing to verify Stop Tech. Anyway, this place still carries the 949 6ULR 17x9 +48.

I got mine set there 3 months ago. I picked up charcoal. They have all colors in stock as of 2-3months ago.

 

The CE28 17x9 +54 will not clear Stop Tech BBK. It clears the Spoons by the thickness of a piece of paper.

The CE 17x9.5 +47 Clears the Spoons by a lot and is a much better width for 255x40x17. 17x10 is actually the best for that size tire

 

I'm confused. Is the spoon set up not one of the smallest BBK's available? If so, how do these wheels barely clear the Spoons, but they clear the larger Stoptech set up?

Or am I misinformed?

 

Because they do not in anyway even come close to trying to clear the Stop Techs.

 

The spoon is unique because it is not a real bbk. Only a caliper upgrade. So the part that needs clearance is nearest the hub. While other big brake kit uses bigger rotor and pushes the caliper further away from the hub.

Yes I know for a fact that the grid fits over stop tech and custom wilwood superlite with 32mm thickness rotor.

I uses Rota for my world challenge civic and TSX with great success. I can't remember exactly how much it weighs. But I remember exactly 2 lbs heavier than rpf1 of the same size.

 

the correct answer may depend on which specific Stoptech kit you are referring to
