I believe they are physically larger.

The biggest question is whether theyd fit under those wheels.

I hope they would for Darnell's sake...
They look like high offset, and are very wide. I think hem should be OK. What is the safe zone like +50 ? But on a 9.75 even something more like a +42:would probably still clear so long as the spokes aren't ridiculously thick...

Darnell what's your offset?

Its not a Wilwood kit, just a kit using Wilwood components.

Its not so much the offset that matters as it is the disk (on the wheel, not the rotor) shape.

For example: A set of +45 wheels fit over the RL calipers with a good 1/2" to spare. However a set of +42 wheels wouldnt.

Basically man we are trying to say not all wheels are made equal. The offset just tells you how many millimeters from the center of the rim your wheels bolt up point sits. High positive offset means rims with lugs nuts far to the outside, negative means a deep dish rim. Really this isn't as important for clearing a bbk as the spokes are. If you have big fatty spokes that go from the face really deep back that would decrease your likely hood of being able to fit a bbk back there. On the other hand a rim with thin spokes leaves lots of room back there for the bbk to clear. +20 might be fine if the spokes allow for it. Its damn near impossible to tell from pictures. The best substitute is trying to find a stock 04+ to rim in a junk yard (they clear rl bbk, but just barely) and fitting that and marking to see if your chosen rims have more or less room behind them. You need a reference point.

Or just find a local 3G TL 6mt or Type S that will let you test fit on of your wheels on it. If it clears, then you can run the RL calipers.

Civic, I thought just about anything below 45 would clear, depending on spoke design of course so I'm not sure why you say a 42 wouldnt fit

Because I've tried an 18x8 +42 and it didnt. So as you said, it depends on spoke design. I was just trying to use an example to drive home my point.
