Do you have the rotor kit utilizing OEM calipers or the 4-piston caliper kit?

i have the four piston caliper kit

In that case there is no easy answer and not too many practical options for test fitting. Unless you select a wheel that is recommended for a vehicle that uses stationary calipers you will probably need spacers. It's not really the offset of the wheel that affects the fit, it's the shape of the spokes.

If you are really committed to those wheels and you are willing to use spacers, you should probably go with -45mm offset. That way when you space them out, they will be in the right offset range.

well what if i used the stock calipers??
95-99 Awd O.E. system Front

AEM big rotor brake systems AEM big rotor brake systems relocate the factory caliper via patented caliper relocation brackets that change the moment arm for increased brake torque, which helps reduce stopping distance by an average of 33 percent.

You should be able to fit just about any wheel over the AEM brakes with OEM calipers.

Which do you think I should go with, the four piston caliper kit or the OEM???

Are you asking which will fit better, which will work better, or which will look better? The answer to any of these questions depends on your goals. What you want to spend versus what you want to achieve.

i want the looks and the increased stopping power
