Boss 338's on a Brembo gt

[Implosive_disgorgence]

I know they don't fit, without spacers. but does anyone know how much of a spacer in the front is needed for these wheels to clear the Brembos?

take a square and put it on the face of the rotor and measure to top of brembo . then try and measure the face of the rim on the inside with a stright edge where the brembo will touch the rim and you should get a good enough idea .

I believe 15 mm will do

Really? That would be great. I love the look (not to mention the cost) of these but everyone says they don't fit the Brembo gt's. If all it needs is 15mm spacers for the front these will be on my car very soon

I had purchased these wheels and returned them due to the small offset of 35mm. When I did a fit test they stuck out of the fender. Not my taste

Was it too "aggressive" for what you were trying to achieve with the car, or was really bad looking ?

To be honest, I like agressive but with the Boss my tires would have rubbed the fenders. I like my tires wide but flush with the fender

Was it for the front only or was that for the rear as well? If its rear tire clearance it might a no go for me :/ I need some wide tires in the rear with the blower to have some fun

Rear bud, you may want to go with a 42+mm offset. If you like the bullit style wheels I know where you can get some replicas pretty cheap with a deep lip

What offset were you running in the rear? I was thinking of 20x9 @ +28mm(front) and 20x10 @ +35mm(rear)

Man I still have these wheels on my mind. I think i'm just going to have to do it

My Boss 338's with the 35mm offset and 275/35/20's (rear) fit perfectly, IMO. They don't stick out...pretty much perfectly flush. Check my avatar. I can post pics when I get home.

My 338s are 28mm up front and 35mm in the rear. Fit perfect IMO.

That's over half an inch. You'll need longer studs.

Do it please!!! Show me how much of a lip these have.

Are yours forsale? Talk to me!!

 

[Rolltide2012]

The Boss 338s are nice wheels but I wanted to fit 295s or 305s out back and they would have rubbed no doubt! If you want to run 275 or 285 you should be fine.

You can set a dollar bill in the lip.

[DDTCM]

I ordered mine from Mr.Wheeldeal.com 20x9 28 offset,20x10 35 offset and some KDW2s. Total package was around $1600.....255/35 front and 285/30 rear.
