    Won't clear calipers! Damn it!

    I just picked up a set of 19x8.5 et 48 Miro STP3 and they won't clear my calipers. I measured from the hub to the tip of the caliper is about 1.5" and that's what I would need to clear them... Seems weird that I would need about a 40mm spacer to clear them with the et being 48. Actually Inset says 48 but there's a random number on each that says 28. So what is the actual offset then?

    You should NOT need a 40mm spacer for those to clear. I would imagine a 15-20mm would be okay.

    I agree. 20mm should do the trick and give you a decent setup.
