I have a 19x8 rim with a +45 offset. What will I need to do to fit the track kit in there. I've heard and read some crazy stuff, wheel bearings, studs, hubs and spacers. Just let me know something.

For the baer kit all you need are 17 in rims!
You should be fine!
Offset and spacers matter with WillWood kits!

-Andy Andy you are so wrong. I am using a 7mm spacer and my rim has a 45mm offset. Yes your going to need new studs and when they replace those studs they are going to have to replace the wheel bearings too. -Antonio

I think you should have no problems. It looks like they will clear. Deep dish wheels have a problem clearing the baer brakes.

Good. I hope so. I will find out Sunday.
I was looking at my stock calipers and there is about a full inch between the rim. Are the Baer calipers that big to take up that much space?

You'll be fine Bernie.
Antonio's wheels have the spokes curving in so much to give the fat lip look that he had to push them out with spacers..
Plenty of room inside my 18's, and JVT has the 13" kit stuffed in his Enkei RS5s.
Baer calipers do take up a lot more room towards the spoke. 1" of clearance is more than enough though.
