Default 949Racing 6UL vs TSW Nurburgring

A) With AP2 stock suspension, will the followings fit with out any fender work? This is a street/track car.

1) 949Racing 17X9 6UL 5x114.3 lug, offset +55 with Nitto NT01 255 /40 R17 tires
2) TSW Nurburgring 17 X9 5-114.30 63 DGMMMS with Nitto NT01 255 /40 R17 tires

B) Will the followings clear front StopTech Big Brake Kit (ST-40 Calipers, 328 x 28mm Rotors)?

1) 949Racing 17X9 6UL 5x114.3 lug, offset +55
2) TSW Nurburgring 17 X9 5-114.30 63 DGMMMS

C) Which one would you run? Is there other alternative?

Thank you!

I am personally running the TSW Nurburgring 17x9 +63 square with 255/40 RE71R tires. The fenders are untouched, the liners are in place. I've read these wheels clear the ST40 calipers.

Just my input.

With stock suspension you're fine. If you want to lower the car at all (and if you're tracking you will want to) you'll need to relocate the bumper tabs and run -2.5 or more camber. I say the TSWs are a safer option if you want to avoid do anything to the fenders. I run C3s (+62) with a 255 tire and had to bend my fender tabs a little. I still rub the liner.

I defintely want a set of Kosei K8Rs. Very light, 62mm offset and dirt cheap.

Is there a good rule of thumb for what wheel center to fender measurements work on the AP1 for tracking? My car was set up for STR before I bought it and it is -very- low, I'd like to bring it up but I don't want to be in a bad area geometry curve wise.

Im at 13" front and 13.25" rear. 1/4" of rake does seem to help a little.
