DB9 Front Caliper Clearance

[Daniel]

Can anyone chime in on clearance for the DB9 front calipers? I was reading over on the build journal site that an "OEM" 18' wheel would require a 15mm spacer to clear the caliper. Further down in the comments he states that he is referring to a 18x9.5 ET35 apex wheel but that's not OEM. Understand that is what a lot of folks run and what I am running myself but would be good to get some more feedback around DB9 caliper clearance before I pull the trigger on a set.

I am tempted to run the DB9 set up so I can still utilize stock size rotors and keep my consumables cost down. I would rather not be running a 15mm spacer with my wheel set up (18x9.5 et35 ARC8) and would likely sway my decision to use a different BBK.

APEX usually recommends a 5mm spacer with the ET35 ARC-8 and 355mm Stoptech or Brembo kit. The 15mm spacer sounds right for the stock front OE 18.

I have that exact setup but too lazy to mount my calipers. I'll update here when I find out.

Can confirm 18x9.5 ET35 does not clear the calipers. I'm ordering a 5mm spacer to see if I can get away with that. It'll be close.

I'm running these calipers and ARC-8 18x9.5 ET35 on a 10mm spacer - I'm not sure you'd clear on a 5mm, but probably would with 8.
