ok i'm getting some new for my car i'm deciding to get rims that are 15x7 + 1 for the front and 15x8 -5. would these clear the brake calipers or would i need spacers for the front rims. these are good so that it would sit flush on my car.

i might even go with lower offsets than these.

Ayuaddict

yes you will need spacers. anywhere from 10-30mm depending on spoke design.

s13silvia123

so youre saying that i would need spacers. cause i'm deciding to get ssr full reverse mesh. its about 10 to 30 mm spacers right or does it depend. i dont even know if these rims will clear coilovers. either.

Ayuaddict

oh they will clear coilovers, as for the R32 calipers, i honestly cant say.

s13silvia123

well pretty much i'll find out when i get these rims. if i need spacers or not. but well thanks though

Brake clearance relies alot on spoke design, which is one reason we can't tell you if they will clear or not.

most mesh style wheels will NOT clear larger calipers.

Bryan

ehhh...didn't read that you were looking at getting mesh wheels...listen to Levi.

s13silvia123

so Levi youre saying most mesh rims wont clear larger calipers. what if the mess rims are larger. in size like 16's and 17's. with the same offsets as above.

it is still going to depend on the spoke design. and 17x8s are super weak. if you want some "mesh" in larger diameters get volk gtu or work vs-xx they will clear

Levi SPL S14

stop with the spoke design, we know its mesh.

the diameter of the rim has the least of any amount to do with clearence.

You have to find out if the wheel you want has the proper pad height, larger caliper cars skyline,evo,impreza all use a High Pad to ensure best fitment and clearence.

Meaning the distance between where the wheels gets mounted and the spokes them selves.

I have seen very few sets of mesh wheels that are able to clear big calipers.

just get a wheel with no lip if you want to be sure.

sunken face> lip anyhow
basically you want high disk wheels
