Spacers. Now what size I have no idea as I'm not familiar w/ those wheels nor their offsets. IIRC though you need about 3mm clearance between the calipers and the wheel/spokes to be safe. How much are you lacking right now?

offsets dont make the difference......the wheel face does aka Disk......the only way to clear the breaks now is a spacer

you need to get the fitment specs from the BBK manufacturer then measure. then talk to a vendor and spec out rims.

different kits have different size calipers (in width and how far they stick out from the center radially) so you need that.


to 'change' the offsets (lol) you need to either use spacers to move the rims out (if you have room in the fender), or order a new set of rims that are specific to the fitment.

more info on wheels would be nice...width/disk face (or pad type)/offset.

almost certain u might be able to get away with it using spacers...

but dependent on width and current offsets

Yeah spacers. I have less than 3mm between my caliper and spokes though without any issues.

You can't change offsets on a 2 piece wheel. Only 3 piece designs can change offsets.
