Same here on the TCE 13.1" BBK but I have 17x7 Kazera KZ-V's with 45mm offset and no spacers. (45mm is from TireRack's data sheet)
On the second page of my gallery is a close up of the wheel/BBK combination.

Sorry: 45mm offset stock on Kosei, and 7.5" width. I also run 8mm spacers for 37mm offset with no problems of course (but slightly more room for tire flex against the struts which hit occasionally without the spacers).

ST bbk w/ 17" Flik Wasps 42mm offset

That's a big no go on the ST fitting w/out spacers. Probably will need a 5mm to properly clear these monsters. Gives me something to hunt for tomorrow.
Oh joy.

Later

This confuses me - the rota slipstream 15x7 fits over my wilwood 11.75 with a 5mm spacer. I have the +40 offset.

What's the offset of yours?

Ah! That's right! I've got the earlier 35mm offset version of the rotas... 16x6.5". I think that they started making them in 40mm a bit later. I tried 'em with 5mm spacers and couldn't get the wheel seated properly on the hub.

I don't think I understand offsets well - wouldn't a 35 offset rim fit a BBK easier since the spokes would be pushed away from the center? If that's so, maybe yours were 45?

My new Montegi traklite 2's arrived today, these will be for street use, with P-Zero Nero's on them and the SSR's now have Toyo Proxes R888's on them for track use.
The Traklite's ended up needing a 8mm spacer to just clear wide Stoptec's.
With the SSR's I use a 5mm spacer.

This is last year when I had KDW2's on them, I only just put the Traklites on tonight but I take a picture and post it over the next few days.

I don't believe so. You'd do well to check the wheel fit guide on page 3 of the pdf to be certain.

Thought I would add that the OZ 17x7 35th Anniversary wheels (42mm offset) fit around the DT BBK with about 7 or 8 mm of clearance, no spacers.
