donwon said:Dont mean to hijack thread, but seemed appropriate place to ask. Anyone have BBK and volk gt-c's? If so, what sizes and offsetts you running?
Hi Ken,2slow2speed said:One more wheel for the database.
Make: Prodrive
Model: GC-010E (Manufactured by Rays)
Size: 17x7.5 42mm offset
Spacer: 7.5mm spacer needed
Vendor: Prodrive USA

I received a set of Prodrive GC-010E's drop shipped from Japan this morning.
I tried the Stoptech template on the wheel, but it does not clear the caliper area.
I'll be shipping these back to Prodrive USA, I checked with them several times for proper caliper fitment. I was about to order the 35mm offset of the same wheel, but was told that the 42mm would work. NOT .
Back to the drawing board again...
These wheels are very similar to the CE-28N's from Volk Racing, the shape of the spokes are a bit different as well as the way that they meet the edge of the rim.
Picture of the wheel..
Hi Steve,Steven Spanbauer said:Donwon I just got off the phone with Steve from Mackin because I think I want the GTCs he told me if your running a 7.5mm Spacer to go with these offsets 17x8-41 and 18x10-43 offset. I have the Stoptech BBK and told him to use the Stoptech Template he did and used a extra 2mm of space when he measured so thats what he came up with.
whiteNSXs said:Hi Ken,
If you look at the Prodrive Japan website, the GC-010 actually has more sizes and offsets available. To top it off, there are 3 depths of spoke profiles and 2 faces. I am sure you will be able to find a size that will fit. You might have to order directly from Japan.

You know what? I have been thinking about this set up. There is no way in heaven that the 17x8.5 is a et40mm. It must have been a et50mm!Ponyboy said:Good thread Ken.
- Volk (Rays Engineering)
- TE37
- 17x8.5, 40mm offset
- 7.5mm spacer from Dali Racing

Doooh! So does it mean that there are so far no known one piece forged wheel that will fit over the Stoptech? Is there really a good reason why the caliper is so damn thick?2slow2speed said:A quick correction, the GC-07's will still require a spacer, the tolerances for the caliper mounting bracket mounting point seems to cause some problems on my left side of the car, it causes the caliper to move further in towards the center resulting in rubbing with the spokes of the GC-07's.
whiteNSXs said:Hi Ken, I am actually correct as well as you are. The 17x8.5 et40mm wheel is 2.5mm more outward than my planned 17x7.5 et30mm. With the 7.5mm spacer that he is using, his set up is 10mm more outward than mine as stated.

Hi Steve,
I think that Shawn is suffering from a bit of "amnesia" .
His offset is actually 50mm per the following post:

I think I'm going with the new Yoko ES100 for Tires in a 215-40-17 and a 265-35-18 and again I know the fronts should have a 225 but they only come in a 215 for the front... I guess I will have a lot of Rim showing but I dont mind. It's going to be about a three month wait for them to come but hey it's Winter here and the X is just sitting anyway.
I will be sure to post pics and results when I get them.. we are hoping they will fit WITHOUT a Spacer but until we get them and try them on we just wont know so wish me luck.
Hi Ken,2slow2speed said:Steven,
I ended up ordering some custom Kinesis K57's in 17x8 38mm offset for the front and 18x9.5 for the rear (I need to check the rear offset) These will take a 30-45 days to be built by the folks in Southern CA. Ben from the The Wheel Boutique brokered a good deal for me.

whiteNSXs said:Hi Ken,
But I thought you wanted something lighter than the SSR GT1. The Kinesis front is probably heavier.
