Hi Guys, I will oreder my Teamdynamics tomorrow but first I would like you guys to help me if it´s possible. After a few weeks I found out that If I wanted to have TD Pro Race 1.2 on my car I would need to order them with a 33 Offset. If I wanted to order the TD Pro Race 1, then I would need a 45 Offset (My BBK are 3-4mm wider than Stoptech, I heard that Pro Race 1 have a 7-8mm clearance with Stoptech BBK, is that completely true????). Wich one would you order, I need to be sure that I´m buying the best option. I don´t wanna have any kind of problems once I order them to the UK. Thanks a lot!!

Soon you´ll get some pics!

 

FWIW, I found thatI got some rubbing on my R53 in the rear with +45 17x7 1.2s and 215-45s with 5mm spacers, which would be an effective offset of +40. In the front, 15mm spacers were also a bit too much. I've now got 8mm spacers in the front and nothing in the rear.

 

So what would you recomend me to get??. With the two options that I wrote, I wouldn´t need spacers. That is the most important issue.

 

What width tire?

 

Acually, scratch that. I'd say just get the +45 PR1s.

 

What if I buy Teamdynamics Pro Race 1 but with a 40 Offset, I would have a little more space than buying them with a 45 Offset. is that right?. Maybe to be sure that is the best option.

 

My 17 x 7.5 SSR Type C Rs are not clearing my stoptech BBK. So now I am stuck with having to either use spacers, perhaps 5 or maybe 10 mm since there isn't any 8mm spacers made for Mini. So I need to find out would the larger offset mean the less clearance? For example, a 40 offset would have a better clearance than the 45?

 

Mini-Madness has 8mm spacers just for the Mini, a little $$ though.

 

Will check it out thanks.

 

The spacers will help to clear the spokes for the brakes and the offset is to clear the suspension and fender wells.

My guess would be 45 offset, with a 5 mm spacer for both brake and fender clearance. I'm assuming 5 mm is enough for brake clearance.

You may have to trim the plastic liner if the car is lowered. With this setup the effective offset is lowered to 40. Rubbing can occur with less than 42 offset depending on tire size.

This is my opinion and I'm not an expert at all. Perhaps someone else with better knowledge can help but I think it would work.

Hope this helps...

P.S. Thanks for all the hard work for the upcoming tuning session!
