Those are the wheels I'm looking at.
I'm needing a set of wheels to DAILY.
Looking at the spokes I don't think I'll have caliper clearance issues, I'm more concerned of the barrel of the wheel clearing the brake assembly. Any thoughts on this?

Should have no problem w/the barrel of the wheel clearing. I too run 17's & that is usually a non issue wtih the standard Brembos. Now, running a 6 pot caliper, that could be a prob.
I would be more concerned about the spokes clearing. You really need concave spokes to clear the Brembos. Not sure those spokes have enough sweep to them
As a reference, I run Rota P45R 17x9.5 +30 & the Advan RGII 17x9 +29 & they clear w/out spacers

If that is a pic of the actual rim, I don't think I'll have any issues with caliper clearance.
It looks pretty concave to me.
I would love to have a set of RG2s in 17x9 +29. Maybe one day after the rebuild is done I'll find a set.
With that lip & +35 I really dont think they'll make it. I see the some spoke concaveness, I just dont think its enough for a +35 wheel
Be great if we could find someone whos tried them. Just be cautious & know a spacer maybe needed
I'm completely against running spacers. Maybe I can find someone out west(CA)to drive to the wheel place to test these for me, but at the price, I could easily resell them if They didn't fit.
Yea I had seen that thread after posting this one.
I just don't want to shell out any more money than need be for wheels I know are gonna get destroyed.
I've been eyeballing the 17x9 +25 Konig Hypergram also, just not sure if I want to run the 25 offset.
Car is lowered with Tein top hats, bilstein b8s and swift spec rs. So I'm afraid the 25 is going to stick out a little much. Plans are no bigger than a 255/40/17 all fenders lips are rolled.
^^^ I like the look, but I doubt they will fit over the front Brembos / Spec shows 17x9 +30
(theres no good way to tell whether a wheel will fit over the Brembos w/out a test fit) (From what we've seen, most wheels do not fit!)
I know you dont want to spend too much, but if you increase the overall expenditure to $900.00, you can get some new Rotas
Have you ever looked at the 5Zigen FNO1R's (17x9 +35). They fit w/out front spacers? A lot of EvOs run them

Well my problem with the Rotas are the offset. I'd really like to stick to a 17x9 and all the rota offsets are +25, but I'd like to run something closer to +30 if possible.
I have tried to find a set of FN01RCs but they are apparently worth their weight in gold.

LOL, Ive looked at the 5Z's years ago, and they were tough to find
How about the Rota DPT 17x9 +35. A lot of EvOs on those

They are discontinued now I believe. There is 1 set in Australia and they would be damn near 1300 shipped to my door, no way I'm paying that price for Rotas.
