Default Which rims for J's Racing BBK

Hi,

I've just bought a J's racing 6 pot BBK, I wanted to know the specifications of 17" to fit it.

Someone know a model and brand that fits this kit?.

Thanks a lot.

WedsSports TC105N 17x9 +49 fits and its the lowest offset wheel that will clear, but it only gives you about 1mm of clearance. If you go to a 17x9 +40 pretty much anything will clear as long as you take into consideration the spoke design.

If you can find Prodrives GC-07s, they clear at 17x8.5 +54. The standard s2000 offset for a 17x7.5 clears as well, but not by much. A small spacer would add some peace of mind.


I think GC-07J should clear as well (the GC-07 replacement). You can PM Tommy to confirm: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=607887

Spoke design refers the the curvature of the spokes relative to the barrel of the wheel. Something like a CE-28 would not clear as well as the GC-07. Perhaps Rob can explain it better.

i believe J's car uses 17x9 +35 CE's and RE's..
CE's with that offset has lil bit of concave which i think is just enough to clear?
im jealous! nice brakes
if u go anything x9 +45 infront, u will need to roll and pull front fenders and rears just roll and relocate tabs.
good luck!

If you run non-staggered (8.5 all around) and you have an aggressive camber setting, you can get away with 255s. I used to think rolling was a big deal, until you actually do it. I would roll the fronts depending on your camber.
