GreenState Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 So in looking at the AZC Five Lug Brake conversion and it seems to change offset of the stock hubs a bit. I think I remember somebody saying it moved the front out 1/2" and I've never heard anything about the rear. I couldn't seem to find any info on this by searching. Am I wrong? If so, sweet. If I'm correct, does anybody have numbers? Thanks for the help, I'm trying not to screw up my wheel order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack_280 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have the track pack so I have a lot of adjustability. I managed to buy a set of Enkei RPF1 wheels with the -18 offset and am running 255 width tires. I had to roll the front and rear fenders, but they fit. That being said, I think your best bet is to wait on buying the new wheels until you get the brakes installed and take some measurements and maybe find a wheel with a known offset to see where you need to be. It'll take more time, but hopefully you can avoid some headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Dave told me 5/8" mine are on the way so i should know shortly. I was planning on running his 13" rotors but he didnt recommend that much weight on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see what they look like. I will get the brakes before the wheels, I want to be sure before I drop the coin on some pricey wheels.

zack_280 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sorry. They are the +18 offset. I was looking for something closer to 0, but these seemed to be the most solid bang for the buck option. Maybe one day I'll get a set of CCWs, Forgelines, etc. I had to use a 10mm spacer in the rear because the tires were just rubbing the inside of the wheel well and the shop working on the car had gotten the alignment close enough for the amount of time spent on it.
