Please don't flame me about using my friend the search button,i did.I just didn't find my exact combo,(if i missed it,i'm sorry).I'm currently running 17''R90's(17X7X48ET) w/ 215-45-17 Falken RT-615's and a Wilwood 12.19 BBK with stock sport struts and H-Sport springs,with no spacers and no rubbing.I'm looking at buying Team Dynamics Pro 1.2's in 16 x7x 42et and 205-45-16 Hankook Ventus,anyone know if i will need spacers or any other problems? From what i understand,i would be moving my offset outward from the hub 6mm or about 1/4'',which should be fine as long as there is clearance for the caliper as i'm decreasing the wheel dia from 17'' to 16''.I just didn't see anyone with this particular set up that why i'm asking for anyone with knowledge or experience on this. Would appreciate anyone's input on this.
Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking that you might have trouble squeezing your Wilwoods in there. You should call Aaron at Outmotoring (or facebook him, now ). He should be able to tell you. Good luck! (and excellent choice in rims)

 

Thanks but i think that with caliper having simply nore mass it will cause interference before the rotor,just me.
Thanks again,i'll drop Aaron a note.

Yeah, the caliper is what I meant.

 

dont quote me on this
but i have a frd who i think is running 17" 1.2 and the 12.19 kit, and i rmb he came very close to touching the caliper (the face of it) and he wasn't able to run 16's.

so i think the answer is a no, and i'm pretty sure it is a no.
hope he doens't mind me showing 1 of his pic of his setup

It'll depend on what size the rotors and calipers are. I'm not sure about Wilwood, but Detroit Tuned makes two BBK's (one to fit a 17" rim and the other to fit a 16").

 

Thanks everyone, in the Wilwood instruction manual it says''if 16'' stock wheels (et48) are used,you must use .125 or 3mm spacer. So,going on that,my R90's are et48's and i'm going to et42's,thats 6mm more offset (out from the hub centerline) i would think more than enough to clear.Only thing that concerns me is the ID of the TD wheel,as there is no guarantee that the ID of the TD is the same as the ID of the 16'' R90 that Wilwood says will clear with the 3mm spacer.If anyone has a 16''TD and would measure the ID for me i could measure the OD of my setup to see if it will work.

Thanks,
Bill

 

FWIW, I got the first 13" FSL caliper shod TCE kit to fit the stock R90. It cleared with a whisper (actually one wheel spoke didn't) but can supply a .090" spacer for it.

Seeing that this set up is a bit wider than the DP caliper is you should be fine. Here are the specs (w/o air gap) for them.

Thanks Todd,i appreciate your help.I haven't got to pull wheel and check dimensions yet,will do it this weekend.So basicly you're saying a 13'' rotor will clear a 17''R90,so a 16''TD 1.2 will clear a 12.2 rotor,but may need a small spacer,correct? BTW, i have a set of 5mm spacers if needed but would need longer bolts.Then my only problem would be fender clearance!Its always a challenge isn't it??

Thanks Again,
Bill

 

I don't think you need a spacer at all base on what is on the fit page.

 

Better yet! thanks again,its great when people on this forum come together to help one another.

The offset is not the deciding factor. The design of the spokes will determine the clearance. I got a set of Rota wheels with a ET+40, but it came no where near clearing my Wilwood 11.75 kit because the spokes were very shallow (thanks to a deep lip).

 

I agree with you Brian,but i do believe the TD 1.2's will clear as their spokes are much like the spokes on the R90's. I'm 99% sure i'm going to purchase the TD's and i'll let everyone how it turns out.
Thanks All,
Bill
