Default Work Wheels "Disk" Help

Anyone know what the difference between the "disks" are (Its on the attachement below)? I need to figure out which "disk" will fit (I have the stock brembos calipers all around).

Thanks

L Disk is shallowest of the 3
R Disk is for standard big brake
T Disk is for mega big brake (6 pot, etc)

R Disk is fine for stock Brembos.

thanks A Spec!

How does the A disk compare to the R? I have on order for the rears as an A disk. Will this have a bigger lip then the R?

You can compare lip size with the number (in mm) on the top of the corresponding column.

For the rear I normally recommend O Disk for maximum lip look.

What sizing did you order?

19x9.5 +24 (r disk) 19x10.5 +29 (a disk)

They said that WORK Japan said +23 on the a disk would not clear brembo so I had to go with +29.

I hope the measurements are right

You're right, O Disk won't clear in that case. It depends on the wheel, for example if its a mesh wheel like VS-XX versus a Meister.

Your fitment is fine, no sweat.

Yes, as long as the offset was correct.

Aspec, how does offset affect brake clearance?? It does NOT. As long as you choose the correct disk it will clear your brakes no matter what the offset.

The sizes you ordered will fit the car fine, but you can easily fit more wheel/lip under the Z. If it's not too late, you should change the order to:

Front: 19x9.5 +19 (L Disk) or 19x9.5 +12 (R Disk)

Rear: 19x10.5 +23 (O Disk) or 19x10.5 +16 (A Disk)

The above setup will maximize your lip without going too aggressive on the fittment.

as Aspec mentioned (O Disk) clears stock Brembo rear brakes and will give you the max lip. L Disk will also clear the front stock Brembo, and give you a little more lip (at the expense of a less concave look to the wheel).

what's more important to you, lip size or spoke design? if spoke design then go with R Disk front and A disk rear which will have more curvature.

If you want the most aggressive fittment for a lowered car with rolled rear fender you can fit:

Front: 19x10 +18 (L Disk)

Rear: 19x11.5 +23 (O Disk)

Easy there.

I meant that yes, R disk will work, and if he chooses the right offset, it will fit (his car). I wasn't saying that offset determined the brake clearance.

The Meister S1 has good x factor to begin with, which is why the R disk can work in this situation.

And 03Z33, I know you can run 10/11, but most guys don't want to be that aggressive.

The sizing he's going with is fine, don't make him worry.
