Anyone know what kind of rotors I can fit with 19x8.5 inch wheels

[accordman1]

LOL I've owned this type of wheel which are Axis 19x8's with a 45mm offset Any how these will not clear a BBK maybe even with a 10-15mm spacer to tell you the truth Nittanys gave up in fact he even bought a 15mm spacer it's not worth it. Your right about it being width/offset/spoke design but with a wheel that has like a 2.5-3 inch lip on our cars lip will matter because the only way we can fit a wheel with a big lip like his is if we sacrifice space.


My current wheels are 19x8 with a 49offset and my bbk almost clear the wheels it's off by 1 or 2mm I was pissed lol so I've used a 5mm spacer. Trust me don't waste your time I've owned 9 sets of wheels and have tired and tested many setups it won't work get your self a nice 2 or 3pc wheel and worry about bigger brakes after if you really need them.


What a old pic haha, any how the stock caliper is so damn close on these type of Axis wheels. I'm sure accordman1 will understand next time he looks at his wheels and caliper. If you do run a 15mm spacer it might still not fit for sure and if it does it will cause you to rub like a motha which I'm sure your doing in the rear right now right?

Ya I remember the pictures on car domain when I first got my car I went on there and saw your car. Yes the caliper is really close to my spoke on my wheels now. I do rub in the rear but only when going out of a steep parking lot. You had a bigger rotor last year when you had the racing harts right? If I got a bigger rotor or something will that make a difference? I just do not plan on getting new wheels since I found some that I really like and think look good on the car. What if I got rear discs put on somehow that might be an easier way???

I had the AEM/Powerslot big rotor kit but not with the Axis wheels I'm sure it still would not fit since this kit uses the stock caliper but brings it even closer to the inner part of the spoke. My old racing harts where ok they were 19x7.5 with a 44mm offset. This is a big jump vs the Axis setup to tell you the truth and it won't be possible to fit a BBK.

I heard wheels spaces are dangerous and most wheel company do not suggest to get them

Which is why I would not try, if your going like a 5mm spacer you will be ok but anything larger is not safe. If you ever plan to use a spacer make sure you get one that is hubcentric and that comes with extended studs.

Higher end wheels have varying specs in a size to allow for caliper clearances.

My 19x7.5 have 45mm and this caliper clears the spoke on the outer end by over 1/2" still - this is a 13" BBK.

The problem is that most 8.5" wide wheel w/big lip need the spoke to come in towards the center of the width therefore not providing the clearance you need to clear large diameter rotors w/caliper. Some higher end wheels may provide the room necessary but good luck finding a set to try on.

Yes I agree with what he said if your running a deep dish wheel it won't clear as he said.

 

[accordman1]

Great I never did have a deep dish wheel until these wheels and I just like wheels that have a bigger lip. It makes the wheels look a lot better. I will just have to stick with what I have then I have no other way that I know of. I do not plan on changing my wheels either. If anyone else has a possible way or has done it with deep dish wheels let me know.
