Can anyone confirm if the new FG MKII 19" wheel that comes with the Luxury Pack upgrade will clear 6&4pot Brembo's or Harrop's Monobloc 4pot brake kit?
Thanks. Last edited by fusion_m8; 11-09-2012 at 10:26 AM. |

Thanks, I was seriously hoping to avoid that... guess I got no choice. Its either trying to fit the wheel on a Brembo kitted car or asking Parts and Service at one of the Ford dealerships.

I reckon you will need +33 or higher offset to clear the Brembos

They look as if they will based on current data and other posters.
I thought + 33 offset was the minimum but +30 will fit based on BAGT514 comment. As always you need to experiment.

Hey I just want to find out what would be a minimum clearance between the caliper and spoke? I have about 1-3mm of clearance is this acceptable or not? http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/....jpg%5B/IMG%5D

unless you wheels are flexing/wobbling the clearance won't change.
Note to keep you wheel bearings in good condition.

you're right. the thing to look out for is the wheel bearing, if that is worn the entire hub+rotor+wheel will be able to move relative the the caliper.

the photo (which the link is broken, but easily fixed), shows what appears to be already a 4-pot Brembo in place.

Just fitted a set of brembos to my car tonight and the front calipers clear the rims by barely 1mm! Will this be an issue at all? I have driven the car and there seems to be no rubbing etc.

Shouldn't be,the 18"s I race with have tiny clearance too, they've never caused a problem under the harshest conditions.

What's the best offset for 20" KMC Rockstars on a FG GT (4p Brembos)?
Can I do a staggered setup without touching the fenders? |
