FG can fit 10 inch wide rim, I had fittted 20x10/275 not much space left though.

I have bought another set of wheels from ozzy tyres they are called "Initial D" so I couldnt find any info whether they can clear 4 pot Brembo's. Here is the pic of the wheels in question...Its a 19x8

Offset?

I have no idea mate, I think its probably same offset as stock FG again not sure, I forgot to ask them and on their website offset isnt listed so I was hoping someone on the site actualy has the same wheel's and not sure if they are open now I have got u number saved when they called about tyres(they supoosed to deliver Pireli P zero but they "run out") of them so they delivering them with Pireli Rosso instead. Friend of mine said he doubt they can clear Brembo's so I want to make sure otherwise I'll have to go with DBA's set up.

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

Have 19" GMAX Avant Garde wheels on my Fairmont, plenty of clearance here!

My Zumbo Vaiges have +30 and has plenty of clearance. It's the profile of the center & spokes that makes the difference

That's a nice looking rim

And very cheap too on ebay..

[comagutsa]

anyone know if Varrstoen 2.2.2s will fit over brembos
size 19's 9.5 +30 offset

[05_ENFORCER]

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.

[comagutsa]

yeah im hoping someone has them on theirs as i dont really want to buy them and find out they wont at a later date

the 19's 10.5 come in a +34 offset but i think they might be to wide for the front

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

[data_mine]

unless you wheels are flexing/wobbling the clearance won't change.

Note to keep you wheel bearings in good condition.

[timmeh6402]

Dumb question the rim shouldn't flex or wobble when tight right? And my cars a big baby gets looked after very well !

[data_mine]

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.

You will need quite a bit more then that because you have to think about the other set of pistons.

[data_mine]

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

[Saski]

So BF II xr6/xr8 18 inch wheels are not compatible with 6 pot brembos?

[comagutsa]

no they are not

[Wolfinsheepsclothing]

these also fit-motegi racing mr122's in 8.5-9.5'' by 20'' they're now on me gs

[DAN-427]

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.

[data_mine]

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

[FLOORED]

Yeah generally not but 3mm is what we prefer to be the minimum.

Very very very handy thread, thank you Race Brakes. I cam in here seeking information about retaining my current spare wheel, and was lucky to find the following:

Has anyone tried ROH Modena the modular three-piece wheels in 19"? I currently have a set on my P250 with the Tickford twin piston calipers. i would like to upgrade the brakes but retain these wheels. Might see if I can find someone with Brembo's locally who would allow me to fit the wheels for clearance testing onto their vehicle.

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?
