Wheel offsets with AMS small brake kit

I'm wondering what size wheels and what offset are people running with the AMS small brake kit front and rear! ie, 15x7 et 45mm, 15x6 et 38mm
I don't want to run spacers!
Thanks.

I bought these Centerline Qualifiers from a fellow member, the rears stick out to far, and I don't want to trim or roll my fenders, the fronts when torqued down with the 20mm spacers on the wheels would not turn!

I run a set of Volk CE28s that are 15x7 et 35. No spacers in the front or rear. No fender rolling. They mount perfectly

I run Rota Slipstreams (not as big of a baller as Will.) 15x7 i believe but i need spacers. 20mm i think is what they are.

Ya it depends on the wheel!

I too run the Rota in 15x7 +35 w/ a H&R 20mm spacer (Thanks Em i got the specs from him a year or two ago)

If the Rota's design was a bit different i'd be much happier NOT using the spacer but i also can't drop $400+ per wheel

I'm trying to decide between the Volk CE28n's and SSR type C. The Centerline's weigh 12lbs not too bad. We have a CNC, so I can machine the rears to tuck in a little more, but I don't like 20mm + spacers.

Unless you can find Motegi's that are light but still require a small spacer i believe (you can ask Mike@AWD or Brian Most-Wanted)..........you gotta pay the piper to get something that looks great and fits perfect like what William, Emery, and Tom Powell have on their Evos (all Volks).

Did you get those Centerlines from Axion 1320?

No it was a different member! I don't mind spending the money if the part fits right, but now I either have to do a 25mm spacer up front and wide fenders (the fronts don't clear the barrell inside), and also cut the rears to tuck them. I would rather spend the money on something I know fits!

You can run a smaller spacer (10mm to 15mm) if you take an angle grinder to the front calipers and take a bit off the top and bottom. If you get real fruity with the grinder they will fit with no spacer.

Trust me man... I'm not a baller. The only way I can afford to buy my parts is because I do all my own work (except tuning). If I had to pay someone to do my mechanic work, there is no way I could have finished this car. You must have forgot I'm in the Marines. I get paid the same as you.
