Default Best wheels to clear BBk

Does it exist? I once tried to get the 6 pot Willwood system but It wouldn't clear with my BBS RGR's. We tried 5mm spacers and still wouldn't clear.

Anyhow, I'd like to run a BBk again, mainly for the weight reduction but need some aftermarket wheels to clear them.

Any suggestions?

spoke design will also play a role in caliper clearance...

Kinesis K58 18's here clearing a 13" 6-pot Wilwood setup without spacers. Don't ask me for the specs, they are sold as S2000 fitment. Hope that helps

Right on! Pics with your BBK would be cool.

I think Advan RGII in 18s are clearing many BBKs without spacers.

Kinesis are in Vista. The offsets vary depending on the wheel widths you choose, and if they are reverse centered or not. Call them and tell them exactly which BBK you are looking at. They will tell you which wheels they can make to fit.

18" OZs can fit a BBK with no spacers.
