3 sets track wheels/tires.
Forgot to mention this.
All of these three sets will need some modifications to fit.
Front will need a 5mm spacer to clear the strut and some plastic well and flair trimming. Very easy, not noticeable.
Rear needs a bit more work. A 3mm spacer to clear the trailing arm. Plastic well and flair trim, and some light hammer work to the metal well. A bit more complicated, but again, not at all noticeable when done. Still all looks factory.

Kosei is 45 offset. No spacers needed with these "wheels" with the TCE 13" wilwoods. Tires do need spacers though.
Though I ran 5mm spacers anyway when I ran them with a 205 tire

Bump for a very good deal on some track tires.
I've got the same kosei K1s with 235/40-17 Yoko Advan Neo's but I think mine might be a different offset if they were listed correctly here (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co....php?t=117215). The rear do not rub with JCW suspension, but the fronts do not clear my Brembos without about 12mm of spacer.
Do you think the rota's would clear my Brembos? What are their weight compared to the K1s?

I think all these K1s are the same offset. Check you wheel as it should have it on there on a paper tag on the inside rim, and also cast in the back side of the hub.
The Rotas are a great wheel as far as I'm concerned. I believe they have much better brake clearance and are a bit lighter. I will check the brake clearance this afternoon.

A 5mm spacer will clear everything on my car with the JRZs.
These last two sets will go on eBay soon and should go quick at these prices. Anyone else?

Some new pics of the set with the Hoosier Rains.
Nothing like showing up at a track day and it's raining, ... and you get to pull these babies out. Makes you hope for a few rain days I will say.
Plus, your getting some almost impossible to find wheels that are among the most popular for racing and track days.
