You'd be surprised at how small the barrel is on the +45.

It makes the OEM brakes actually look proportional and not overly small.

From underneath the car, I can't get my hand under the caliper when I'm wiping down the inside of the wheel when the car's on a hoist. (OEM caliper)

that's how small the barrel is.

So the diameter of the barrel between +45 and +22 are different?

How about 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 +43? Actually I have a set TE37, borrowed to my friend for car show few days ago, and he crashed his car last Saturday night, my wheels are fxxked up, so I have to buy another set anyway, if 5zigen fit I would just get that, cuz he doesn't have money to pay me now, I need some rims not gonna cost me too much, cuz I have to save some for BBK, will get it pretty soon, so just want to get everything ready.

Yea, I have a set of TE37s (17X7.5 +48) and would like to know if any of the BBKs out there would fit under these wheels...

Thanks, does that come with your guarantee? If I get a set of Stoptechs, and they don't fit, will you buy them back from me?

Depends on how much you asking for , cuz I have 17x7.5 for 3 years, and I did research on the clearence with Spoon, Wilwood 4 & 6pod, Endless and P Mu, all of them should fit without spacer. Not sure about Stoptech but they should fit no problem since the size is smaller than Pmu.

17x7.5 + 48 will clear most BBK? HIGHLY doubt it...

You guys do know stoptech provides a template you can download for free to give a positive answer if the wheels will fit over the brakes or not.

Yea, but I am too lazy to take the wheels off and see if the template will fit.
