Start running stupid wide wheels with different faces/discs/pads and you'll run into brake clearance issues as well. For example, on my STi, I run 18x8.5 ET42 CR Kai's and 245's without too many problems, with tons of brake clearance. However, if I tried to run an 18x9.5 ET20, even though I'd be moving all of the extra width to the outside of the wheel via the lower offset, the spoke design would mean my calipers wouldn't clear..........which is the inverse of what you would think with a lower offset. Are you building more of a street/show type car, or something for autoX/track? If you're building something with track or uatoX in mind, and you're wanting to maximize what you can shove under your panels, get them mounted up and then work with a custom wheel manufacturer like Kodiak, etc, who will build exactly what you need instead of trying to get fitment with wheels meant for Evos or S14's/GTR's with different brake setups, etc.

I am building my car to track. I have no interest in showing my car. I do have coil overs but i cant say what the height of my car or what the camber is going to be set to for track use at this point. I think when i am able to get my car to a track i will be able to make the proper adjustments. I want a wheel that is going to work with upgraded brakes which i plan to purchase in the future. I am just trying to receive some feedback that is going to inform me what i should do to properly build this vehicle the first time
