What wheels are you running with Wilwood 12.2's?

Picked up a Wilwood 12.2 Kit locally extremely cheap and will be running it on my R53 after the winter, I've looked through all the fitment posts, but I'm curious to see the variety of wheels people are running with these brakes. So, let's see them, size and offset would be great info as well.

I had looked through that entire thread, I assumed more people had these fitted and was looking for a variety of different wheel combos people are running, as I assumed there had been more fit over the brakes than just those.

There may be many wheels that fit over the Wilwood 12.2 brakes.

Todd at TCE has a template to check if you have room for clearance.

The brake caliper needs enough free space to allow it to cool and not risk rubbing.

Also, each wheel may or may not be quite the same so that if you have minimal clearance you can find that one wheel scraps while another of the same type and size doesn't.

Using spacers is fine but if it is wider than 3 or 4 mm then you may need longer wheel bolts or longer studs.

I'm running o.z utlraleggara's 16" wheels no spacers on my *******. I suggest 17" if your not tracking and for aesthetic reasons. 17" wheels will also give you a wide variety of tires @ 35-45 series at a reasonable cost. 16" lower profile tires are pricey and it's a 300-400 dollar difference. Also stick with a light weight wheels makes a huge difference. Nothing above 17" unless your pushing good power upwards of 250whp. Just my personal opinion. Hope that helps.
