Any 17" wheels would be good too ie. for track day wheels?
As slick tyre selection are easier to source in 17".

It aint gonna happen mate, 17 inch rims and Brembos do not mix unfortunately.
Unless you can make your own rims with the correct offset and pcd that is

All is not lost with 17" wheels as you can run 4 piston AP Racing calipers and 330mm rotors under 17" wheels if needed

I believe that speedy FIN RS will clear brembos as well as speedy CROSS-S rims.

I am unsure but if the wheels are on the car can you measure the distance between the outside rotor face and the inside of the spoke at the most outer part of the disc and let me know.

After booking the car into bridgestone the guy has now gone a but cautious about saying they will def fit so he said once they fit one can I check that they will be ok before putting the rest on. So currently it just has the standard brakes so once he fits one wheel what clearance measurement am I looking for that will mean the brembos will definitely clear? Thanks for your help matt. I bought a fair bit of stuff through race brakes for my vl turbo show car and like everyone on here will agree when I say that your willingness to help people and your knowledge is second to none and is greatly appreciated

Thanks for the feedback.Generally the wheel manufacturer will know if it fits the factory Brembo brakes. What i generally use for the front is this "measure the distance between the outside rotor face and the inside of the spoke at the most outer part of the disc and you need atleast 90mm gap" I will try and find a template and we are finally working on a Brembo 6 pot kit that moves inwards a fair bit plus we have other kits under way that sit minimum 10mm further in.

That's gorgeous. Exactly what I plan to use them for too. 19" rubber is too expensive for drift days

I haven't sold one in a while because everyone is fitting 355mm kits or larger BUT we have some 4 piston kits with either a AP Racing or Brembo caliper that use a 330mm to 336mm rotor that some 17" wheels fit over but these front kits generally cost about $3150 or so.

I am just trying to fit some Brembo 4 pot calipers with 355mm rotors over my 18inch Speedy Infernos and unfortunately they are not clearing.

Clutching At Straws Dept:
According to Bendix and other sources, the Lexus IS F and a couple of Mercs also use the same front pads. Meaning that it's probably the same front caliper (ie Brembo 6 piston). http://bendix.com.au/catalogue?manuf...t=&part=DB1845 So, when searching for wheels overseas, it would seem to be useful to look for wheels that also fit: Mercedes-Benz SLK Class: Jun 2004 - NOW Mercedes-Benz CLK 55 AMG: 2004 - NOW Lexus IS F Merc is a different stud pattern to Falcon, but the wheel shape should clear Brembos. Lexus is the same stud pattern so it's just a matter of checking the offset. I'm still looking for suitable wheels for my taxi. I decided on BA XR8 rims a while ago because I need something with a simple five spoke design that's easy to keep clean. Unfortunately, it turns out that BA XR8 drivers are completely incapable of driving more than a few metres without finding a kerb to smash into, so all the wheels that I come across are too scratched. Very frustrating. My nice shiny brand new new Brembo calipers are feeling very abandoned. The search continues... |
