Hey fellas, I have a few questions... I purchases this brake kit from: http://arizonazcar.com/240sxbrakes.html

It's a 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers. I wanted to know if they would fit with the following wheel set up...

Axis Wide Track http://www.buywheelstoday.com/products/?id=2643

I would like the rear wheels to have the 4.75" lip 20offset and go with the 2.5" lip 40offset for the fronts. They have diffrent offsets (I am not sure what that means) so IDK if this means I cant use them. (if this set up is possible would I need to do fender work?)

Or should I just go with the 2.5" lip 40offest in the front and the 3.5" lip 40offset in the back? (does this require fender work?)

Also I have Tein SS Coilovers would I need wheel spacers to clear the struts? If so how big?

Any suggestions?

Assuming your car is 5 lug, you'll need the 5x114.3 bolt pattern so that limits your choices from that list.

I'd go with 18x8 +20 Front and 18x9 +20 Rear. You shouldnt have any problems with the springs/struts, but I have no idea if those brakes will clear.

Check Wilwood's site to see if they have a printable template or at least measurements for the calipers. I know Brembo does...

Good choice...Yes I have 5x114.3 set up

But I forgot to say that I plan on droping the car 2inches. So would I need to buy spacers is I use 18x9 and 18x8 wheels?

Could any one explain offset?
