Don't order that. The +35 will concave, and rears (+28) wont. It will look funny. Either get all +28 (which will clear the BBK) or get all +35 will will be super sexy and much easier to clear, but will be a gamble on the brake clearance. I myself would love to know what the brake clearance on the 9.5+35 is. I know they don't clear the massive kit, bit it is quite massive

Hope that helps.

thx Dino....., but isn't the lower the offset gives more of a concave face?...im sure u scene B18c5's set up he has 17x9.5 +40 fronts, and 17x9.5+35...it looks sickwithit!!!!!....., anyways i've been incontact with him and he has the T1R big brake kit and he says thats why he went with a lil higher offset to fit the brake kit, but is that true?...u cant fit a +35 in the frt?....and dino for your wheels since u have alil smaller size 17x9 +22 can yours fit a BBK?....let me know dino..

Thx,
Ramon

I don't have 9+22.

Its weird the way volk does their sizing. Thats what I'm trying to tell you. A 9.5+28 CE doesn't concave, it has a big lip and alot of backspacing which is why it clears brakes. The +35 concaves, but has very little back spacing, which is why I think it wont clear everything. Try asking B18Eg... to bolt one of his rears to the front and see if it clears his T1R. Thats info many of us are interested in.

I know they don't clear the massive BBK. They might clear spoons, not sure about Brembo GT. Its a gamble. If you've spoken with B18eg.... ask him to bolt up one of his rear 9.5+35 to the front of his car and see if it clears his T1R BBK. If it does, it will clear your Brembo BBK. Also don't get staggered faces

Nice, thanx for chiming in. Didn't know T1R's are so slim. Your car is sex btw.
