Default High disk or medium disk for aftermarket brakes?

I am about to order some new wheels and eventually some Stoptechs. I would like the biggest lip possible on the wheels before I set the order. So the question is, do the Stoptechs require medium disk or high disk offset? Supra TT brakes? Thanks for any advice.

The disc has nothing to do with offset. The disc is how high the mounting pad is. A higher pad provides more brake clearance.

Stoptech and Supra TT both require High/Hi/A disc to clear them. My Weds MID disc would not clear the Supra TT brakes by about 12mm.

TT is correct, but i think you are referring to R Disc instead of A Disc. A Disk will not clear. Dan, PM henry. 9 width with High Disc type i think you can go +30 or +29 to get the most lip
