i have looked everywhere and cannot for the life of me find any info on these wheels. i believe they will clear brembos but i want to know how much fender work or camber i would have to run. i dont mind the fender stuff since mine are rolled from previous owner but i dont want to lose any function by running retarded camber. so any insight on these wheels would be great. have seen a few evo X things but it doesnt help me.

 

Bump

 

You saw my notes from the sticky above. You should get a few more responses here. I can be more exacting w/my comment if you have some specific questions

 

i did see your post, i was just putting up my own to see if there are any people who tried to run these rims. i dont want to move the bolts if i can help it, if i cant get any info ill just in a different direction i just really like these wheels haha. but i dont wanna be the guinea pig with them either

 

I ran the following no.s on the calculator. 18x9.5 +30 running a 265/35 tire

This overlays almost identical to my set-up as noted earlier. I needed a 3/4 roll of the rear fender, a slight pull which is noticeable at certain angles, bumper bolt relocation & a 1" outer spread of the lower bumper cover (special brkt made)

I thought process behind all that work is to get the rear tire /wheel assy to fully articulate in the rear well w/zero rub. Heres a pic of my track set-up w/the rear coilover removed showing the clearance

 

appreciate the info, you have any pictures of that rear bolt relocation? my rears are rolled already but i dont think they are pulled from what i can tell.

 

Not pretty to look at but this is the LR fender well, looking rearward

You can see the trimmed section of the bumper tab area & the rivet used to hold it in-place. Been like this for 7 years

 

alright that doesnt seem as bad as i thought it going to be, thank you for the pictures. is there anyway to find out if they will clear the front brembos?

 

Only way to know is if someone else has used that wheel or you do a test fit.

There is no simple math or other technique that I know of. Its all in the spoke & hub design that dictates caliper clearance

 

Check the size chart on Works' website, there might be info there

 

Could you elaborate on/share pics of this please?

 

^^^Will have a pic for you later today

 

Nothing special. Just .125 alum flat bar, curved. I had rub w/the splash guards & the bumper cover so I pushed out the lower bumper cover 1"

Not for everyone

 

Thanks, hopefully I won't need it to fit my NT03's because the fender liner is staying, and hopefully the mud flaps as well.

Also, that underside is way too clean, you need to come up to Canada for a few days

 

Hi guys,

Speaking abt works D9r wheels,

for the 17x9.5 D9R, what offset will clear the Brembo brakes?
