My ulterior motive is to ensure I can't afford the FD that I want... I narrowed it down to two and know both or either would be a bad idea so..... I like to stay broke.

At the same time, I've been installing more JDM parts. Have a set of power folding mirrors with camera to figure out, Impul starter button, skyline sills. So I figured what the heck?

 

Damn. Sometimes I really envy your travels. My life is the exact opposite lately. Working at home, in the middle of a truly nasty winter, with a kitchen renovation that means I have to be here when the contractors are here. Two weeks in, and we're still not at the half-way point.

Polish that thing. Sheesh.

 

I will, I will. This is the first vacation, traveling vacation, I've taken in a long time. I'm stopping in a couple offices but mostly vacation. Prague is more amazing than I thought it would be, should have scheduled more time here. Amsterdam... Well, that should be a very good time.

How long is the reno? Has to be tough working around that.

 

I know I'm late but someone asked about 19x9.5 wheels with a high offset, these are +40. To clear the akebono bbk I'm using a 20mm spacer. It gives me about a quarter inch of clearance, should I bother to get a 25mm spacer?

 

That would be me!

Thanks for the specs you've provided. After performing the recon that I have, I've determined to just buy the wheels I want, test fit and then determine what kind of spacer I need.

 

I would personally buy wheels that don't require a spacer but the heart wants what the heart wants. For example, wheels like the rpf1's need a spacer in the desired size we want so sometimes you have to make exceptions.

 

Well I don't get cheap spacers - I'll get hub style spacers and make the wheels fit. I've been doing it for years - especially back in my Acura and VW days.

I also am not spending more than $400 per wheel. Ive done the whole 3-piece wheel thing and have had my fill. Just getting something that looks close to OEM and will help make the Akebonos pop.

 

I've got about 3mm clearance w/ my Wilwoods and they've been through a very aggressive bed-in and a big ice storm w/ no issues, you'll be fine as you are.

 

Two weeks in, and not quite at the mid-point yet. Floor, walls, ceiling, lighting, plumbing, electrical, quartz counters, stupidly expensive cherry cabinets. It's painful.

sigh

 

I only had 2mm clearance with between 19" Vossens and my OEM BBK. It freaked me out, so I added 3mm spacers.

 

I personally don't have the patience when it comes to ordering and waiting for parts. Avant Garde offers custom offsets with the bespoke program and I would've cleared the bbk with a low +20 offset but didn't wanna wait 2/3 weeks.

 

What's the oem wheel clearance?

John, if it made a difference, the catch can is for sale on this group for $666 shipped but they only have one left.

 

I've got my duckfeet on right now, but with 15mm spacers... so the clearance is huge.

It doesn't. But thanks for looking out.

 

But its a devilishly good price!
