I'm not sure how you in stalled your BBK , but I was told when using LCA's you have to at least have the stock 17's which have a +50 offset and coil overs or an aftermarket 17 with coils and +35 offset and higher. As far as spacers go not to sure about them I do not use them. Take a look at this: http://www.exactmotorsports.com/GSRCA.html Make sure and read through everything. Hope this helps.

+40 is really generous so it fit as long as the disk is standard or high disk.

i had 19x9 +30 (high disk) and it fit my TT Brakes.

offset has nothing to do with brake clearance. with my supra front calipers i needed a 15mm spacer on stock 17's.

ok so her is a better question, how many more mm's does the ls caliper stick-out farther than the oem gs caliper? i understand if no one has an exact # but a rough estimate would be nice. thanks
also where is the disk stampped on the wheel so i know if it is standard? it should be they are TSW's? its a pretty standard wheel manufacturer.

I dont think Axis wheels have disc options...you find disc options more on high-end jdm wheels like Work Wheels.

If you have already done the BBK mod, then just put on the wheels and find out easy as pie my man. If you haven't, and you cant seem to find someone with the same wheel or at least the same offset, then your just going to have to do it anyway right? So just give it a shot what could it hurt? Then you would have some info to contribute to help out the community good or bad outcome.
