XXR 527 on TC

does anyone know if these will clear the brembos without spacers and if they will bolt straight onto the car with no problems or alterations? I'm on sportlines. Haven't had an LNF for too long. only about 3 months. sorry if i cause problems i tried searching and looking around but couldn't find much info.

you need a hub conversion or wheel adapter to run them and they will clear brembos no probablly. ive ran these for over a year now. was the first one with them.

i dont consider adapters safe and i road race so imho its a hazzard waiting to happen so i went with converted hubs.

thats not my car. i had them long before he did but i usually dont post up a whole lot about my car.

would all this fit and work? Would the offset add up to be close to stock? If so I'm gonna order it today.

not with the +20 offset of the rim. when you add the 25mm adapter that puts you at -5 offset which will sitck way out of the fender. i imagine beyond pulling abilities. if i under stand correctly you will want a +55 offset with that adapter will take you to +30 which would be flush. someone can correct me if im wrong
