I got the Kics 15mm spacers but I am going to add an extra 2mm one. The caliper is kind of close I'll take better picture tomorrow in the day.

If these spacers work out I was thinking of using a set on the rear and getting wider rear fenders. I think it would give it a unique look.

The set-up on my car seems to sit inboard quite a bit more than yours, even with wider .75" spacers. I thought it may be due to more neg camber on my car, but I had another thought.

I max out the camber plates full neg, then use the stock adjustment bolt to add back some pos camber. This may position the whole assembly further inward.

The dark wheels look nice

The four wheels were around 1080 which I was able to pickup locally from www.edgeracing.com. I called them to see how much shipping was and the guy was like "dude your like 10 minutes from here". They are 17x9.5 with a 38 offset. The 15mm spacer clears the caliper but they are kind of close. Like robi had mentioned 17mm would be the ideal spacer you should get.

I have a set of 17 by 9.5 RPF1's with a 38 offset (powdercoated black) that came off my 350z but they won't clear the front Brembo's.
Nice wheels!

Word.......I broke one of them at Buttonwillow last year. Only 3 of the split spokes held, preventing the wheel from coming off completely. Sure banged the sh#t outta' my Brembo caliper through. (this was on my old 350Z).

Dang, these wheels seem to be questionable strengthwise when used at the track.
