off set question

can someone tell me which off set will give me more room for bbks(endless).

im going to get a set of bbs lm's and want 18x10. the two offsets offered are 20 and 25. now im going to run 265/35 advan 48's. rubbing in not an issue because i have hrs front and rear fenders.

my only worries are how much of a spacer might i need in the front to fit the endless brakes?

I think you might have already answered your own question.. get the bbk first, try the wheels (+20) and see if you need spacers or not. im sure 5mm or 10mm would work if +20 offset won't fit. But I am fairly certian it will fit without spacers.

I have a set of 18x10.5 +15 waiting to be put on right now.. a lot of clearance between wheel and caliper.

nothing to crazy.. bronze se37k from r33/34 gtr. basically same offset setup as the cyberevo.

Yes, lower the offset the more clearance will be for the brake calipers.

since you have wide fenders (f & r), 18x10 +20 r33/34 gtr application is a good start since you are upgrading to a set of bbk.

Here is the link to the r33/34 gtr applications:

very nice choice of wheels you are getting. balla status!

Not always true. Depends a lot on spoke design and face .....

for example if you look at any Volk catalog you will see different configs and offsets that say face 1 or face 2 . Usually face 2 is flat and will give less clearance and face 1 is curved. As the spokes bow out then there is more room for the caliper.

^ I hope all that makes sense as I can pic in my head but dont know how to exactly explain it.
