Message	clearance or does spoke design still come into play? I have a set of 17x8 +32 front wheels that clear my Wilwood calipers by only a few millimeters. I'm considering replacing these wheels with a set of 17x9 +35, same make and model. My understanding of offsets tells me I will gain +3mm of caliper clearance with the new offset, but am unsure what the increase in wheel width will do. WARNING: I lack industry backing

As I - nissansx 10:50:04 01/02/11 That assumes the spoke profile is the same. Not always true, - just4kinks 13:15:30 01/02/11 That's a good idea. I know what my current wheel clears, - zgene4 14:07:14 01/02/11 i had 17x9 r 17x8 f integrals on my old z - nissansx 17:30:03 01/02/11 not necessarily, depends entirely on how a specific wheel - LJZTT 13:24:01 01/02/11
