Only +17 will get you a 5 in LIP All the hardcore guys are running this offset.

I checked the specs on Rays website for these wheels and it says that the size lip is the same for a 10x10.5 +17 and a 10X10.5 +28 it shows it as a 107mm which converts to 4.21 inches. Am I reading something wrong?

+17 is probrably a high clearance rim for bbk's, and +28 is the low clearance and extra lip.

my understanding is 19x10.5 +17 offsets will not clear BBK on the rear.

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...?modelName=GTS

it says they well clear...strange...maybe they're only talking about the oem caliper? +18 on the other most likely will not clear..but they give you a 5 inch lip *droooooool*

The OFFSET A in the size table denotes models matching big calipers of SKYLINE (including the
BREMBO caliper of V35), SILVIA, FAIRLADY Z (Z33), CELSIOR, SUPRA, RX-7, LANCER EVO and
IMPREZA (GDB/BREMBO calipers).

does anyone know if the "offset type C" will clear the stock non-brembo rear calipers? or do you need to run the "offset type B?"

Back to my original question, is the +17 and +28 lip the same size? From what it looks on the chart it is. 107mm. Also isn't 107mm converted to inches 4.21" not 5" like everyone is stating.

So how about the rears? I have 14" Wilwood BBKs 6pot Front/ 4pot Rear.

Also, could you please PM me pricing for 19.5(F) + 10.5(R) in Ti Gunmetal that will "snuggly" fit my BBKs?

yes the +17 and +28 will have the same lip size b/c the +28 will not work with brembos or other big calipers.. this allows for a larger lip size despite the fact that the wheel will not be pushed out as far as the +17

They are referring to the 10.5 +18 for the 5" lip

So everyone who ordered a +17 is not getting a 5" lip.

All I know is that the +18 10.5 is a low pad wheel and has a 125mm lip

The +17 10.5 is a high pad wheel (usually used for the front with BBK / not to say that it cant be used for rear either though) and has 107mm lip

Wait...Wth...You are telling me that the +17 wheel will have a 107mm lip. While the +18 will have 125mm lip? NOW That does not SOund right! The +17 will have the bigger lip then the +18. I could be wrong, but im pretty sure thats how it is. Hey Rick, maybe you should chime in, and help us out.
