I can always measure them and see. I need to lower the car more, hate how it sits like a 4x4. The iSS forged sat perfectly but I had to raise the car up due to rubbing. Fixed the rubbing issues even further, let's just say there is nothing else I can do in the rear.

hehe never say never i also think the rear can use a bit more drop, right now it has a bit rake look to the car (front is low)

Yeah, the rear was the only thing that was raised up. The front was fine, just heated up the plastics and pushed around everything that was rubbing. I was VERY surprised that I didn't have to cut anything. BUT I will soon... coming up!

I'll agree with the both of you, BUT its sooo damn cold in S. FL right now. I'm more then likely going to do it tomorrow, I'll be sure to try and measure the offsets as well.

:goes on a BBK search:

LOL, on a BIG budget! I wonder if any companies are willing to sponsor me??? I dread the word BBK due to cost.

Just realize it has to wait till the wheels are done, but I'm pretty sure the front can fit whatever since we have factory "BBK," but the rear... we might have a problem with what I plan on running.

yup, rear can sometimes be a challenge. but keep in mind, if you look at the rear rotor hub design, it already "forces" quite some clearance for the caliper. of course if your spokes curve in big time it can still be a problem. but for example on my ssr, the rear is just standard disk, but i did measurement and it should be very very close on clearing bbk already, at most maybe 2-3mm spacer

i can see what you mean on budget, bbk is no joke, a good set is easily the price of a set of wheels. but at the same time, it's not something to get cheap on neither. you have done everything right on your car, make sure you get the right bbk. i have faith in you
