Default Buying new wheels...big brakes in future...what will work?

I currently have 18in ADR M-sports which I believe will NOT fit a Stoptech 13.1in front BBK.

I'm looking at the Volk SF-Winnings and SF-Challenges.

Will either or both of these wheels allow space for a BBK WITHOUT spacers???

Anyone know what kind of offset I will need. I think my ADRs are 30 front 32 rear...not sure though.

i've seen SF-winnings and SF-challenges in 19" sizes with certain offsets fit the 14" Stoptechs if that helps.

the 13" Stoptech should fit more wheels, the 14" are the ones that you have to be careful with, those require a min of 18" wheels. dumb question but i'll ask, have you tried the 13" templates that are on Stoptech's website to confirm that your ADR's won't fit. Also, some wheel manufactures, if you ask and send them the templates will check fitment.. i tried a couple before getting some new pro drives

I have the template sitting on my desk right now...I just haven't had time to take a wheel off and see if it fits.

Thanks for the help....looks like I'll need to go with a higher offset and less lip to definitely fit big brakes.

BTW - your car looks AWESOME with those wheels and the 4-wheel BBK.

Just get an agressive offset with the new wheels. Agressive offsets usually have more space for BBK's.

+22, and lower is what I would suggest.

John350z was running SF-Winnings with 14" STOPTECH's all around.

Brembo's cleared fine with my Racing Hart's, Dazz told me a 14" big break kit would work as well...but I can't confirm that. Here are the wheels:

offset:

The offset in the front are 26 on (19x9) & on the rear 19 (19x10)

Those rims are sick. I think I might get those for my Z. How much did you pay for those if you don't mind my asking.
