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
http://www.rays-msc.com/wheels/index.cgi?d=14
http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/2009/pro...9&for=domestic
http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/350z/g35/kits-9/
Wilwood 14" Rotors with W6a calipers..
Thanks.

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.

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
