I have a question about offsets...

I am looking at the brembo gt big brake kits that use the f50 calipers.

Here is the pic of the clearance guide,

CaliperClearance460.gif

A= 43

B= 122

C= 200

Would someone explain to me what would be the minimum offset rim I can use? I assume its +43mm but want to be 100% sure before I order some wheels.

I'm not too sure what offsets you would need, but I just wanna let you know if you didn't know already is that there can be two wheels with the exact same specs and one could clear the brakes and the other might not. You have to look at the design of the wheel's spokes as well.

The A measurement isn't offset. All that says is you need 43mm min clearance from the back of the spoke to the back of the hub at about a 200mm radius. (you probably need about 48mm to be safe to allow for rocks and shit).

That said, most GTR offsets will give you that sort of clearance, 9 +18, +22, 9.5 +15..... they all have heaps of room in that area. I'd say some 17's might be a little too small to fit over those calipers so you will need to be careful there, or go 18's and be certain.

If in doubt, trial fit.

if u are buying jap wheels like work or rays they normally specify disk type ie: low, standard and high disk clearance...normally denominated by the letters O, A and R disk. Makes it much easier to shop.

Yeah, Ray's wheels usually have the disk type and tell you whether or not they'll clear your brakes as well. I'm pretty sure they tell you whether or not they'll clear the standard GTR and Supra brakes, but I'm not too sure if they'll tell you if the wheels will clear aftermarket 8pot brakes for example.

Best thing to do is trial fit before you buy.

a bit hard when your buying rims that no one has in stock.

any suggestions?
