Hi guys, I just bought the AP Racing BBK (330mm*30mm) I am thinking on buying the Team Dynamics (white) 1.2 17". Would I need spacers? In case I need them.. how big?, I heard that with a 45 offset, I wouldn´t need spacers . I ´m trying to find the perfect rims (17") so that I wouldn´t need spacers, any idea?..
Thanks a lot for all you help.

Hi Ricky,

I was advised by Welcome To Lohen.co.uk - New Mini Tuning and Performance Specialists to ideally run an offset of 35mm in order to fit the AP callipers respectively.

I am currently running the car without spacers in which does fit (marginally), however I have 5mm spacers in which were fitted but I took them off due to the car shaking at high speeds.

Despite the slight shaking they will be getting fitted again soon, I wouldn't like to end up smashing the calliper against the side of the wheel

However I must state that I am running the smaller AP setup of 304x24mm. I recommend speaking to owners of Stoptech Brakes, as these are 328x28mm.

I also suggest sending Welcome To Lohen.co.uk - New Mini Tuning and Performance Specialists an e-mail. They are extremely helpful with this sort of discussion and will get back to you quickly!

Hope this helps
Ryan
