Spec.B wheels brembo clearance

Hello , ive search the forum and google alot but I couldnt find something usefull ...

Some say they fit , some say no .. so.

Do the 2007 spec.B OEM 18'' wheels fit over front brembo ?

if not, what is the required spacer size ?

thanks,

max

nope....

this should help you out http://legacygt.com/forums/showthrea...es-122320.html

I believe they are similar profile to the Stoptech calipers, so it will not fit. I ended up
switching to AP Racing which have a slimmer profile. I use my SpecB wheels for my
winter with Blizzaks, so really didn't want to buy a whole new set of wheels and swap
the tires over. The Wilwoods are another option that will fit under those wheels.

Well I think that if I use wheel spacers , they can fit ..

I think so, but towards the end of that above mentioned thread, it is addressed a bit.

Google search will net you better results than the Lgt search feature.

sorry for bringing up an old thread .. but do you think that if I run spacers my OEM spec.b wheel will clear front brembo ?

if so , wich spacer size would I need ?

i never ran my brembos with stock wheels. I think the Spec b wheels offset is ET55 - you need at least ET48 to clear brembos. Since spacers usually come in increments of 5, you will likely need a 10mm spacer. Not very practical IMO.

why do you say it is not very practical ?

offset does not determine brake clearance, spoke design does

you can use upto 7mm spacers without needing extended stud

if you want to be sure to clear, get 15mm bolt on spacers, until you find a set of wheels that clears

Nobody ever tested these wheels on brembo ?

Spec B wheels DO NOT fit over Brembos w/o a spacer for sure.

well Im not suprised of that answer but do you think it need a HUGE spacer .. over15mm ?

or it can be fitted with a smaller spacer ?

thats 25mm front and rear. i had to roll my rear fenders aswell.

I heard that the 2008+ wheels at less clearance ..

If you can afford Brembos, you can afford new wheels.
