    Hey fellow zedders ,yes I know it's been talked about before :rofl: anyway
    I am looking at some new rims with the following offsets fronts are +37
    Rears +38 rear the wheels are jdm wheels 18x9 front 18x10 rear.
    I am sure that they will fit but I have r33 brembo brake calipers at the front
    Would the front offset clear the brembos? Can anyone give me a few
    Pointers. :br::br:
    Cheers Ben

    Offset is rarely the deciding factor for brake clearance, it's all about spoke design and where the spokes connect to the barrel. What model wheels?

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    They'll be fine

    Whoops, sorry forgot to come back to this one. As Anti said, you'll be sweet, most Volks are quite performance oriented.

    Also, they're probably going to look awesome.

    12mm track difference front to rear , dont understeer it into a gutter.

    GTC use a hard to find wheel nut that run $200-$300 a set, Brake clearance depends on face 1 or face 2 with GTC, google - volk gtc upgrademotoring. should find the face for those sizes and pad size on that website.
