Urgent help needed.......with brembo's

[tangcla]

A little bit or a lot......I'd like to hear what a wheel manufacturer would say about that affecting the warranty on the rim....and your car insurance company.....each to their own.

Hence I put it up as an option.

What I was planning to do before I got the Brembos, is a custom brake caliper setup which would give equal performance to the Brembos but be much friendlier in regards to wheel clearance.

[Greenman]

Fair enough.
As i said .....each to their own.
Machining wheels and fitting spacers are really questionable in my opinion.

[tangcla]

Yeah. Not a fan of spacers either.

Harry should sell his wheels.

[Greenman]

.... You should buy them

[tangcla]

.... You should buy them

Nah. I like my Advan Connoisseur 151C wheels better. They clear Brembos.

[Greenman]

Or Harry could buy those Plastic brembo covers..... Sorry for going there.
Damn disappointing.... How about other brake calipers?
Wilwood etc???

[Gambit]

Alternatively you could sell me your brembos and forget about upgrading your brakes haha

A few years ago when I bought a set of wheels from PHAT, he told me that spoke profile plays a big part with clearing calipers, probably more so then the offset.

Too true.
Offset is important...but rear face of wheel design is equally as important.

[senator]

Wont that affect the strength of the rim????

Not if you only have a little bit taken off.

DO NOT MACHINE YOUR WHEELS TO FIT……..

It doesn't matter if it’s a little or alot reducing the material of the spokes will effect the structural integrity of the wheel, you Mexicans don't exactly have the best roads either.

Heart breaking....maybe you want my Tuned by STI 18 * 8 +48's

Harry these wheel might not be 19', but with the right ride height they look they look great.

Word.

Good wheels come with different face designs and often you get a different face design on your front wheels to clear bigger brakes and a different face for the rear to achieve more dish. Could look a bit weird on an AWD car though

if you buy the proper spacers you will have no problems
