so im looking into buying some cobra rep wheels for my s13 and am wondering if they will clear my brakes

i have z32 brakes

the wheels specs are

rear 17x10.5 +27

Back Spacing: 6.8" (173mm)

front 17x9 +25

Back Spacing: 6.0" (152mm)

thanks for the help.
if anyone has any pics of this set up that would be great

hmm seems enough but it also depends on ur wheel blades.
i had to use spacers 16x7.5 +35

what the hell is a wheel blade?

They meant the wheel's face. Offset/backspacing has nothing to do with clearing BBKs, its all dependent on the rim design. If you have roughly 1.5" between the wheel hub face and the rim spokes, it should be more than enough to clear. Post up a picture of the rim so you can get more input.
