just from looking at that photo, i can tell you right now that those are not going to fit Z brakes.

for the bazillionth time:

it's not about offset, it's about spoke/face/disk design

you could have a +40 wheel (like me) that fits fine. or you could have a +5 reverse mesh that will only fit with a 20mm spacer.

the ONLY good thing about knowing the offset is knowing whether or not the wheel will sit "flush" to the fender, and how close it will come to clearing coilovers. but the spoke design is completely irrespective of that.

someone please FAQ this response...
