Default VOLK GTF Caliper Clearance

Hi guys just wondering if anyone here knows if the following setup will work:

Volk GTF
Front 19x9.5 +30 (+17 is too aggressive for me)
Rear 19x10.5 +24

Wilwood 14" Rotors with W6a calipers..

Thanks.

I run GTFs 19X9.5+17 19X10.5+15 and they clear my Alliance 15" rotor 8/6 setup. Don't know if that helps at all...

Which columns do I use below to find offsets for the GTF wheels, there is A, B or C.. I'm confused

are you using spacers cause +15 would hit calipers??

+30 & +24 are weak offsets even for a 4 door

call Wilwood, get the caliper schematic, and measure against the wheel. In all liklihood, it should fit fine.

the chart is self explanatory - find your diameter and width, find your intended offset, and the caliper clearance shows up. In your case, it's an A disk, which offers the most caliper clearance

The W6A kit requires an additional .190" of clearance over the standard BSL6 set up.

W6A:


BSL6r:



*Note the overhang difference: 1.98" vs 1.79"



The clearance needed can be viewed here:
http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/wheel-fit/

Or the standard pdf (which includes air gap whereas the above does not) shows a spec to which you can add .190".
Here's the info:http://www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds547.pdf


With regard to offset choice, I would not encourage anyone to make an offset change to their wheels in order to fit a brake kit. While it's certainly possible to do the real goal is to select the proper wheel and spoke design that clears the the caliper. Changing the offset intentionally could be considered a band-aide solution leading to other issues.

I am not running spacers. They clear fine.

And B disk for the rear wheels? Problem is I don't have the wheels or brake kit yet, so I'm a bit in the dark and trying to work it all out. I'd hate to buy something that doesn't fit
