    Yeah, if you could check clearance with bbk's like massive's that would be great. He has a pdf you can use to check it.

        So, very nice wheels. Are they 7" or 8" wheels? - Offset is et20?
        Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

          As posted before (and before and before...), they're 8". I haven't measured the offset myself, but I remember the specs listing ET20. I think they're one of the best looking wheels I've ever seen on a '30, and that's not just cause it's mine...

          I'll measure the caliper clearance for you tomorrow Jack, but I remember there being around an inch. I'm really happy I stayed with the 15" wheel. It just fits the look better, and doesn't rob all of my gear like those 'tight dubzzzz' would. I haven't rolled my arches, and don't plan to. I can still go 2" lower on the coilovers, but won't. These cars just aren't made for huge wheels. Plus, they're way light!!! Slicks and R-comps are cheaper and easier to find for the 15", too.

          I WOULD check clearance with a bbk if I had one, cheades. Got one you can lend me?

          Oh, and I got these through a buddy who works at Discount Tire. He ordered them from the Tire Rack in August. Out the door, with mounted tires and certs for under a grand.

              I like them.
              Is it me or do the front tires look less balloney than the rear tires?

                Lucky for you, I have one you can actually keep for free.... http://massivebrakes.com/files/profi...ont_300_21.pdf is the profile, so print it out, cut it up, and check clearance.

                  Got a chance to measure brake clearance today. So with stock calipers, the clearance is substantial:

                  Front: .9" radial, 1.0" axial-closest point. The spokes run diagonally "out" in both axial and radial direction

                  Rear: 1.1" radial, 2.5" axial.

                  Haven't had a chance to pull a wheel and measure for BBK. Found the template, though.

                    I put a Wilwood Dynalite on a VW Corrado rotor inside the wheel to test clearances and it looks just fine. It even clears with my Dynapro calipers and an 11.75" rotor.

                      These are starting to grow on me. The weaves might have to go.

                          If the Dynapro clears with an 11.75" rotor, then the wheels will probably fit the special order Sport kit w/Dynalite. That kit requires less room than the Superlite kit. So, that's a good start knowing that the kits fits BBKs.
