Work XD9 Rims, will they clear Brembos ?

[Behind Horizon]

Hello guys,

i actually threw an eye on the Work XD9 rims, i do want them in the following sizes:

Front: 8,5x17" +25
Rear: 9,5x17" +28

The problem is that i do have a complete front and rear R33 GT-R Brembo brake setup and because of the deep dish design of the rims im asking myself if they will clear the calipers.

If you guys are driving these or similar rims with a Brembo setup or a Z32 setup please let me know what do you think about this matter and if i have to change offsets.


Thanks in advance.

check the work website, they post caliper clearance for big stock calipers.

i have BNR32 calipers on my stagea
with 18x9 +20 all around
clear fine

r33 shoudl be no different

lol fuck those sizes though....they should clear but id try and find better sizes assuming this for s13/s14

They will clear very easily.

I have 18x8 +28 and the calipers are an easy 10-15mm away from the spokes.

when I had xd9's (17x9.5 +17 up front), i could not clear 300zx calipers w/ 350z rotors.

The problem was not spoke clearance, that was fine. The caliper was actually hitting the inner barrel.

i have similar question with a set of grahm lights.. 17.5 with a +40 off set 5x114.3.. some z32s

17.5 +40... Daaaaaamn that's a wide wheel.

Im assuming you mean 7.5 +40 in which case you could house a small family of geese in the amount of clearance.

Sounds like the 17s will not fit...
If you want 17s that will fit go with Enkei RPF1s

if you mean 7.5 wide +40 offset, ew. that is not 240 sizing. look through the wheel fitment whore thread and be inspired.

If the spokes don't curve outwards I'm going to say the fronts won't fit.

It has to do with certain sizes being built for the rear wheels (usually 9.5 and up will have less barrel clearance, at least thats what I understand from talkin to A Spec Logan). Different brands will probably have different clearance.

My 17x9 +15 Racing Sparco NT-Rs clear spoke and barrel easily (300zx 30mm caliper w/ 350z rotor, should clear the brembos too).

Also, the stock 350Z base wheels (17s) will clear the Brembo setup as well.
