16X7 42mm offset right now. As long as they will fit on my knuckle, my rims should clear because my friend has a set on his AE86 under his 15" SSR.

Won't be 40k haha, not until my PE SC and custom widebody w/new paint job(I'm thinking about it still) plus all my other parts on my "to do" list.

He has that exact kit?

Not much of a BIG brake kit if it fits under 15s - and if it truly fits under 15s, I can guarantee you won't get 6 times the performance of the R1 concepts/carbotech combo. I'd be highly surprised if they were even 10% better - the brakes from garm are already almost TOO much braking power.

I honestly don't know if he has the EXACT same kit, but all I know is he had Greddy custom make the bridge/adaptor for that caliper for his car and Greddy only has one mini 6 pot I believe. Yup, I did fit under his 15X10 SSR.
Well, I think mini 6 pot will still have better braking power than our OEM caliper even with good pad and rotor combo because it does have more clamping force for the same size rotor if not bigger. My other friend replaced a set of AP racing caliper for his OEM brembo with the same stock size rotor, and it did give him better braking just because the AP has bigger piston in them and provide more clamping force too.

Plus more bling bling for me.
