jspaeth · 02-01-2010, 11:10 AM

I have a buddy with an RB swapped 197x 260z.

He currently is running 15xsomething Work meshies in something like -20 offset or so.

He wants to run 13.5 inch rotors up front, but we think that the only way to get this to work, is going to be if the rotors are positioned (via offset and also spacers) very much near the INNER lip of the wheel.

Like if you look at the wheel from the front of the car, the rotor would be way towards the inner lip of the wheel.

Does anyone know of any negative effects/safety issues associated with the rotor/caliper being positioned quite far from the center of the wheel's width?
