As the title says, which would be better tire size with NO rubbing on TRD drop?

also, how to find out of rims will clear Wilwood BBK ?

I'm thinking about buying guru's work wheels.

if your gonna get spacers, might as well get like 20mm or whatever it takes to make em flush since your already gonna spend the money on spacers..

Nope didn't clear mine the face of the caliper hits the back of the spokes min 5mm spacer for it to work.

^^^ your solution fails.. lol

yeah i guess spacers are needed.. gonna check autozone or something like that for universal spacers for now.

yea for the most part the 12'' rotor with the caliper won't clear, mine did but I was running an 11"rotor with the tracklite caliper.

How much for 5mm spacers usually?

draxcaliber

oh wow. this is helpful.

so kanchi, was that spacer with the OEM 17's, or the 18" EMX super 7's?

i was considering a BBK next time i need to replace my brakes, but if i gotta ditch both my sets of 17" rims, i may have to reconsider.

$10 each and they are aluminum. I just bought 2 for the fronts since its only 5 mm.

Hey dudes, what kind of rims in 17x8 clear BBK ?

Kanchi

BBK clear now with 5mm spacers on EMX 7's....

After my deployment i want to upgrade my wheels to 17x8 and run 245 tires but i dont knwo which rims would clear my BBK.

How do you pick offset for that ?

i believe rpf1s do clear

RusWolf

whats the offset on them ? dont the offset is the main reason either they will clear or not ?
and if for example the offset is +35 do i need a spacer or ? so they wont run with 245 ?

RusWolf

Anyone knows ?

it also depends on the spokes design.. 35 offset might have more caliper clearance than 42

If you were closer I would have let you try my RPF1s 17x8 35 offset but 235/40/17 Toyo Race Slicks though
