we specialize in BBK. if you look at the link to svtp i posted (i know i know lol) that set has a BBK cut. our stepped lip 17s have more clearance than our reverse lip 17s but will only clear so much in diameter. whenever we take an order, ask each customer about their brake set up to be sure. if you have a BBK, then we just need to know the specs to be sure our 17s will clear. most will. only HUGE brakes, like 6 pot and up, wont. well, even stock GT500 brakes dont clear our 17s and those are only 4 pot but with 14" rotors. theyre BIG. some times they'll be super close and a little grinding may be involved. but we can figure it out beforehand on paper before ever making anything. our 18s will clear just about anything on the market.
oh and typical build time is 4-6 weeks depending on finish options and sizing. super custom like custom narrowed/widened 2 piece wheels take longer. like if you wanted a 17x15
Ya the brakes would be a 14" rotor with 4 piston Brembos but I would be going for an 18" wheel anyway so Im not too worried about 17s. From this thread I spent more time on SVTP then I ever expected, it was horrible and I lost sleep over it..

yeah, when you go big time with brakes then it usually means you will have to step up with the wheels as well. ive seen some gt500 owners squeeze 17s on their cars (front) but they have to use spacers.
BTW I talked to Steve said that he would powdercoat my wheels black for free for whoever buys them...All you have to do is pay shipping to get it done. I plan to make a dedicated for sale thread over the weekend to get this project rolling but figured someone in this thread could be interested with that little bit of incentive added in..

Another thumbs up for Steve at True Forged here. We have used these wheels on all our shop cars for years (mustangs...lol) and they are excellent quality and durable. Not to mention Steve can do some one of a kind finishes as well.
