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.

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? |
