Hey cobra and fixer, I'm getting 18"x7.5" TE37s with +40 offset. Do you think those will clear a 14" (355mm) big brake kit w/ 2-piece rotors and Wilwood 4-pot calipers front and back? It's from Precision Brakes. I hope so... so scary... :??:

I don't think Volks are high disk...maybe I'll check though. As for testing before mounting the tires- they are shipped to me mounted and balanced so no go. I'll just keep my fingers crossed. They're +40 offset so not very much lip so I think the calipers should clear.
One question- would 2-piece rotors vs. 1-piece rotors push the caliper out any further?

For the price of Volks if you want something light with clearance check out SSR Competitions.
well..I took some 1 7's with a 45 offset. I spaced them out 10mm and then they fit. I think with a 35 off set I'll be fine, so thats what im going with.

If you install 14" rotors on the front without upgrading the rears to at least 12.5", you're going to have serious brake lockup problems. The fronts will be doing all of the work.
