so i did some search and found out that u need a 5mm spacer to make the stock CLS wheels fit on a BBK (specifically Rotora BBK).

Can some one confirm this.

Also is this for CLS wheels from 01-02, or 03 or both.

 

Not sure about the stock CL-S wheels, but I know the stock TL wheels will clear.

 

Stock TL or CL wheels, 01-02 or 03 will not fit the Rotora Single piece rotor and 4 piston caliper. A 5 mm spacer is needed. 04+ TL wheels will clear with no problem. As will our wheels.

a 2 piece rotor is even more difficult and may require more than 10mm of clearance.

 

thanks guys. i wanted to run 03 wheels and i have a 5mm spacer. so it should all work out.

 

 

what about the smaller BBK's like this one:

Whoops, I completely forgot to put the year for the TL wheels.

I always seem to forget about the second gen

BTW, if you want to keep the stock looking split spoke 03 wheels, the 07-08 base model TL wheels are very similar, and they should clear without a spacer.

 

those wilwoods will require a 15mm spacer to fit cause the caliper size.

 

I ran 03 CL-S wheels with my Rotora BBK using a 5mm spacer without a problem. You just have to be careful when removing wheels to avoid scratching the calipers.

 

i tried fitting an 01 CLS wheel on a 2 piece Rotora with 5mm spacer and that didnt work. not even with about 7-8mm. and when i tried a bigger spacer, i barely had any room to tighten the lug nuts so i'll prolly need longer studs.

 

You sure they are CLS rims & not TLS rims which are not as wide?
CLS 17X7
TLS 17X6.5

 

Only the 1 pc disc BBK will fit with a 5mm spacer. The 2 pc disc is 7mm wider than the 1 pc disc and will require a larger spacer and longer studs.

 

yeah, they're CLS wheels.

do 03 CLS wheels have same specs as 01-02?

 

why not use 3rd gen wheels? they are more aggressive and will clear bbk.

no worries abotu spacers or wobbles

 

Yes - same specs - 17X7 w +55mm offset

I ran the '03 CL-S wheels with the Rotora 1 piece rotors using a 5mm spacer without a problem. Tight fit but it worked fine.

 

^^OMG what a gorgeous line up of cars!!

 

Ill take the NSX please.

Sidenote - Allout, I think Ive seen videos of your group on youtube. That NSX is SC'd, right?

 

Yes - that's correct. It was Seattle CL-S in his CTS-V racing NSX Tuner. That was a great road trip.

 

It definately looked like fun

Sorry nspec for the off-topic-ness.
