180Sx R32 Brembo's Wheel Offset

[farch]

hope someone has info for rim offset for the front of a 180sx with R32 v-spec brembo's. has anyone done this before? would love to test fit a 17*8 +40 or +45. the rears are sorted, were extensively rolled previously for +6 watanabes. this seems like it might be easier to just put wide guards on the front and buy some GTR spec wheels, but i hate the fiberglass.

what are peoples thoughts?

I'd say offsets in the +10 to + 30 range in a 8" - 9"

but your main concern should be the disk type (caliper clearance) [distance from hubmount surface to rear of spoke/s] as you can have wheels with low or high offsets and have literally no caliper clearance.

i think I'll have too start borrowing peoples wheels, and seeing what fits. trial and error, i do know that +20 17*9.5 hit on the suspension. but the caliper clearance was good.

Well the stock rim on those brakes is 17x8 +30 BBS mesh rims (note some style of rims at this offset and width may end up hitting the caliper. I am sure something like a 17x9 +20 would be perfect to fill out your guards and clear the caliper.

I would personally choose the style of rim you're after firstly, and then see what's available from there.
