I hear that's a common solution for track days, at least..
Given the specs below for the FFR Halibrand wheels
Wheel Set Part Number: 14865
Front Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 17"x 9"
Rear Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 17"x 10.5"
Front Wheel Backspace: 6.00" (24mm Offset)
Rear Wheel Backspace: 6.7" (27mm Offset)
Wheel Lug Pattern: Ford style 5 lug x 4.5" bolt circle
And:
1. The fronts need a 5mm spacer to clear the calipers by around 2mm only
2. The rears clear the caliper but need to be between 25 - 32mm further outboard to sit appropriately under the wheel arch.
What are the wheel specs I should be targeting. How much clearance is an appropriate amount for the front calipers, and lastly.. any recommended suppliers in Aus.. ???
With thanks
Chris
