Hello,

Im not so sure, but i remember reading that sevas rims arent so great with big brakes, lots of issues with fitments. (read this while doing a search to see how many people have them, because I really want a set of silver s-22's) I don't know how much bigger the c32 brakes are but you might want to check out the fitments. Of course I could be all wrong and they fit with no problem.

If you have the high offset (40mm ) front wheels I know that you will need a 5mm or 8mm spacer to make them fit. Your car will look a lot more aggressive and at the same time you'll be able to clear your breaks. The only problem I foresee is if you have huge tires you may rub if your car is lowered...I would suggest stretching some 225/35/19 or 215/35/19 for a nice look and for better fittment. Lots of people are doing that stretched tire look and it looks nice. It's up to you what you want to do tho.

Sevas has 3 options for the offsets on your wheels.

20mm - if you have this one you should not have any problems with the breaks but this is not the correct offset for your car

35mm -
if you have this one the 5mm spacer should work

40mm - if you have this one you have lots of room to add spacers

I hope this helps but I can see from your signature pic that you have huge tires up front so you are going to have problems unless you buy some narrower tires to make this all work.
