Installed one side and the caliper is rubbing on the rim I have a 17 by 9 rpf1 with 35 offset.
Do the brackets have a right and left side?

The brackets I have look identical. I'm a little concerned about rubbing as I have 18x8.75 +20mm wheels. You might just have to get 5mm spacers.

oh, hits spokes not he rim? Yeah, spacers...I have pulled off a few washers on the wheel studs to act as spacers before.

I thought you meant the rim then I would leave it jacked and drive/brake to wear the pads then look, it doesn't need much to see.

I tried also with 18x9.5 +20 chikaras and it cleared the barrel but not the spoke. Smh I guess I wont be using them and im going to be selling the rotors and bracket

^doesn't bode well for me, either. Maybe with the spokes being concave I'll have better luck.

Don't give up on the bbk. Run small spacers.

Anyway, you could post some pics? It's hard to believe the 9.5 +20mm won't clear.

The guy I bought mine from was running them on 18x8.75 +35mm XXR 527's.
