They are +30. They do stick out quite a bit when it is up in the air. Hopefully down with the camber on my car will cover most of it. Up in the air with no tires on yet, it steers lock to lock with no clearance issues. Hopefully I can squeeze my 275's up front without rubbing. My studs are being shipped now and will be putting them and the tires on this weekend to see how they look with them on the front and if I can even steer it.

Update: Test Fitting.

It sticks out about an inch when it's lifted: (I know it's dusty. Can't help it in my garage :crazy:)

There's about an 1/8th inch clearance between the back of the wheel and the caliper.

Wow - geez don't think there's any amount of stretch to help that back in the fender well. Not that I'm even a fan of the stretched tire anyways. These wheels look great just not very caliper friendly?

I guess they fit fine on the normal GT brakes. Just not Brembo's. Not sure about other Big Brake Kits, but I wouldn't think they'd be any better. They fit excellently on the back without any help.

Im running 18x8.5 in front on a 235/50 tire.
The rear has 18x10 and Im running a 265/45 tire.

The offset is +25 on the rims. My front is spot on flush and the rear has some poke but nothing bad. It looks really good, so much so I wish I didnt wuss out with the 265's and wish I had squared it with 275's. Now I have to wait until the tire wear out. Live and learn.

I can get you pics if you want to see.

I love the look of your car. You and Shark Tales are what made my decision. :beerchug2:

Thanks! Shark Tales had the look first and made me love them, lol.

FWIW, the Baer 6 piston calipers offer a lot more clearance than the Ford/Brembos do. Maybe consider selling your Brembos and running a Baer 6P setup. That's what I have on mine.

Looking at your pictures, I would consider doing something different. That wheel sticks out a lot. Either ditch your Brembos, or go with a different wheel, IMO.

I hope it doesn't come to changing brakes. If need be, I'll switch the fronts to the 20x8.5 wide. Don't want to.

We'll see how it looks with tires and on the ground with the negative camber.

It will definitely be a stretch to get this to work out (pun intended).

Looks good though. My mind goes to this when I see that wheel and the RTR splitter, although these are HRE's

That rendering looks perfect, the execution wasn't to my liking.

lots of camber could technically make the front wheel tuck in the wheel well, but it'll be up to you whether you enjoy/tolerate the look or not. at any rate, it's a good looking wheel. i've definitely been through the "i need to fit this wheel around my brembos" phase. it sucks that ford couldn't get the caliper and disc mounted a little more inboard...

look familiar? :)

Nah, need to get a 275 for the rear to fill out the wheel well more. Going lower will only ruin going around the track and to top it off, if I go lower the speed bumps will get me. They are 3 inches tall and 2 feet acrossed here!

I dont wanna hear shit about speed bumps. i dont think it would "hurt" going around the track unless your going for the gold.

How much of a spacer did you need? Also, do you need a spacer to fit your Rotiforms around the brembos?
