to clear brembos you need the 18x9.5 +30mm.

if you had larger rotors you could probably get away with the +38mm.

yeah i know that for the cr kai's . the 18x9.5 +38 xt7's are supposed to fit right up though.(hmm who told me that? ) i'd be leanin towards those with a 255/35 to start then man up to a 265 later if these don;t work out.

the XT7's in an 18x9.5 +38mm clear as per work.

I do like those...nice subtle concave good offset, great width.

hmm yummy.

as for the 17x9 +44mm CR Kai's lets see spacers!!

bad news, front wheels with a 5mm still hits the brakes. with a 10mm theres probably 2mm of space between the spoke and brake. i have some pictures below

wheel size


the 5mm spacer


two 5mm stacked together to get the 10mm


5mm bumping against the brake




10mm spacer barely making it


and for reference my work kai 17x8 +47



sorry guys guess no cyber for me
i'll probably post the wheels back up forsale, don't really want to run a 10mm spacer. if anyone wants to take them off my hand pm me and we can work something out

got no problem running a 10mm spacer up front here thanks alot for the info dude. sorry to see you sell them though! 10mm with longer studs is perfectly fine! so you could spin the wheel and everything no problem? looks like the same clearence as the 17x8's basically....
my plan now i guess is to sell one set of the 5mm i got and get a set of 10mm for the front. so :
+34f/+39 rear. should be a decent setup i think. debating on how safe i'll be with the stock studs in the rear on the 5mm spacer...
