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?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
