    Offset with ECS Stage 4 Brakes?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I have the ECS Stage 4 Brakes which are huge and I am completely dumb when it comes to offsets etc. My question is, does anyone who has these brakes or understand their size know which offset to shoot for? Those that have seen my car know that the last owner has ridiculously large spacers and my car looks a little dumb with the fronts sticking out far. I want something to fit the brakes and tuck in. Suggestions?

    Re: Offset with ECS Stage 4 Brakes?

    The design of the wheels have more to do with caliper clearance than offset. I can tell by your avatar pic that those wheels are not BBK-friendly (most cheaper wheels aren't, like those Axis' you have).

    As much as it pains me to say this, RS4 reps play nice with the brake kit you have.

    Like the Capt said you will need a good caliper height clearance.

    Our V708's and V710's are BBK friendly with your car.

    VMR I was looking at the 708s gloss black still and was actually going to email you to ask your opinion. That is great news! Waiting on payday to get here and probably will pull the trigger on those gloss black. Would look great on my car!!

    We dont offer a Gloss black but we do offer a Onyx Black Metallic. Its basically like a black chrome kind of look. It looks super reflective and is a multi layer finish.

    And looks AWESOME in person, BTW. It would complement your silver car quite nicely.
