Default BBK with dished rims?

Looking for people to post up any pictures with information!

TT brakes or LS, or any other BBK with some *dished* rims. Something about them just sets me off, but people always talk about needing a certain rim style to run a BBK and clear. really wish there was a rim out there that has a 1.5-2" front lip, and a 3-5" rear lip that will clear TT brakes. any one?

You can but wheels that will clear a BBK. you have to choose the different disks sizes on the wheels to clear it.

do research on the different DISKS for dished wheels.

with WORK wheels, A-disk is suppose to clear big calipers.

yes, however lowering the disk size also lowers the wheel lip size as well.

what kind of BBK are you putting on?

most people run A-disk (front w/ upgraded brakes) and O-disk (rear w/ stock brakes)

come to think of it, i believe the disk size is for Caliper clearance mostly.

Joe, I sent you a PM.

Nice rims and everything.. Just not my style. I am more of a sporty guy than the luxury/baller rims.

I searched for "BBK" in the wheel/tire thread and only had 12 posts pop up.... out of 100+ pages..

Any one else running TT brakes in the front and rear with lipped rims?

I have rears but not on the car right now. I don't think the rears are much of a problem because of the way the rotors are designed...lots of room. I have roughly 1 more inch of clearance in the front
