Towards the center bolt face side of the spokes, how much clearance does it look like there is from the back of the spoke to the face of the caliper? (10 mm?) Thanks.
I see what you mean now. I thought you wanted to know caliper to inside wheel distance. You want caliper to spoke (lateral) distance. I put my OEM wheels back on, but next time I mount the Forgelines I will measure for you. I don't think it's much more than OEM. I just looked at OEM and it looks less than 10 mm.

Great looking wheels, as someone said looks very "clubsport" and racy!

Nice wheels!
But am I the only to think the rear offset are a little bit too low?
From some angles it looks like the rear wheels stick out more than OEM ?

Both the front and rear are a tad wider than OEM. It is not very much. This gives the car more of a clubsport look and a slightly wider track for the circuit. It looks amazing in person. I'll try and take more pics next weekend when I put the Forgelines back on.

I'm just gonna piggyback on this thread instead of creating my own. Big thanks to Brian at Competition Motorsport.

Quick pics of GS1R with RE71R tires.



There's about 1/2" (closest to the hub)- 3/4" (farthest away from the hub) clearance between the caliper face and back of the spokes. A lot more clearance than OE wheels.

The wheels look great! Is this for the front wheel or the rear wheel? This clearance means Forgeline left some concavity on the table, perhaps to share exact wheel face CAD between many offsets...
