Project Man FG 4dr · 04-24-2008, 07:53 PM

I am wondering Anyone have any sugesstions on where to buy BBK or the bigger upgrade rotors....? I would like to go the rotor way.. But am unsure of fitment issues....

Will they work on 17s.... That are 17x7.5 with a 45 offset... I know stock they are not spose to clear... Any experiance would be great or advice.. thanks!

a 7.5 in wheel with a +45 offest only has a 1/4 in more clearnce than stock.

Are you going to be tracking your car a lot? HPDE events every other weekend? Honda Challenge? Otherwise, its just a lot of bling. If you are an every now and then racer, some quailty blank rotors, proper temp range pads, and good fluid is all you need.

Big brakes don't help you stop quicker. Tires do. Sticky tires and a very well balanced brake kit can lower stoping distances.

Moose, and Sirbelch are the brake experts, but I know with my new wheels( Team Dynamics) I have A LOT more brake clearance than the stock wheels. The new wheels are 17x7 +45 as well.

I'm not a brake expert. Everything I know, I've learned from Moose

You need to check with the brake manufacture for specs on clearance.
