Tryed to search...no luck, seeing if any one has a good negative number offset that will work with Z32 brakes. I'm looking for a 17" or 18" wheel with a deep ass lip but I want to see how deep I can go with the z brakes thanx.

1. Wrong section. Should've been in Tech.
2. A thorough search would've garnered you the fact that for brake clearance, offset isn't as important as face/spoke design.
3. MORE THAN LIKELY you'll have a nigh-impossible time finding negative offset wheels that clear Z brakes, simply for the fact that most negative offset wheels have pretty flat faces on the mounting side.
