kyle,

it also depends on the design of your rims. On the inside, does it curve out or just a plat face? Usually when you order rims, you can request to have the "big brake" offset.

Yeah, you have to be more specific...WHICH wheel are you talking about?

And it's not JUST the offset. It's the disk setting. You need to make sure you get a HIGH DISK...and in most cases, that means less lip...there are some wheels that just have really deep lips by design (like the Garson's)

I have a set of Dronell Type 5 3 piece wheels with the TT calipers. I still have some space between the spokes and the calipers with this wheels.
On a RWD car, the optimal wheel set up is a staggered one, meaning wider in the rear than in the front. With a three piece wheel, you are able to achieve this and have a high disk in the front (about 1.5 inch lip) and a reverse lip on the rear with about a 3.5 inch lip. I ll upload some pics this weekend so i can show you.

If you can get me a pic of the wheel and the offset, i can probably tell you if its going to work or not
