Okay, so help me out here. If I have the following brakes, what offset is the most optimum with thes wheels. I'm assuming I am able to get a +17 all around but since my calipers don't seem as large/wide as some of the other BBKs out there, I want to see if it's even possible to go with a +18. I'd love to be able to get a 5" lip on the rears.
Here are the caliper specs:
Front Wilwood SL6 w/ 14x1.25 disc: http://www.wilwood.com/Products/001-...SL6R14/dwg.gif
Rear Wilwood SL4 w/ 14x1.1 disc: http://www.wilwood.com/Products/001-...SL4R14/dwg.gif

Anyone got a ballpark figure on how much these wheels will run me (sorry if I missed this on an earlier post)? Thinking of going 19x9.5(F) +17 & 19.10.5(R) +18. If you can't post it, please PM me. TIA!
no one has them in the US, no
as for brakes, I cannot say what will fit and what won't. From what Volk has posted, it would appear not even stock Brembos will fit, as that is the way they do their fitment guides. However, no one can tell you for sure till more people try.
Pricing? Varies by color
