Smallest Spacer Size to Clear BBK in the Front?

[t44tq]

Does your brake kit vendor not have a template that you can download to check wheel clearance? A lot of them have this so you can avoid being in that situation where you have the brakes installed and find out that the wheels do not clear.

Considering that "Brembo 6 pot" could be several different brake systems, you would at least need to specify the rotor size to even get in the ball park of correct information.

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate you all taking a moment to provide me this feedback. Cheers

I just did a brembo 6 pot with my zcp wheels and it clears using a 15mm spacer...there is a bit of room thiugh, not sure 12mm would fit though

If you have the ZCP wheel, then I think it'd stand to reason that a 12mm would clear for the CSL spec wheel.

6 pots actually need less clearance than 4 pots.

my 19x8.5 +35 clears my Brembos but they are only 4 pots.

So, 10mm might work but 15 should be good like tbone mentioned.

Well he said 19x8.5et44 which only belongs to the CSL front wheel as far as I know.

I know what's needed to clear 996 brembos, but I don't know about 6pot.

As far as looks, you'd want to run a 15-18mm spacer due to that 44 offset.

Depends on what wheel it is.

Hello Group,

I am installing 6 piston Brembo’s in the front and need help finding the smallest spacer size to clear the brakes.

Wheel size is 19 x 8.5 ET44 on Indy 500 Firehawks tires 255/35/R19. The tires are a lot wider than OE spec and I plan to swap out all 4 tires for MPS4’s Spring/Summer of 2023. Hoping to save some money and get my BBK installed with the wheel/tire setup as is.

If anyone knows the minimum clearance required to clear Brembo’s for the front given my wheel size and offset, please let me know. I’m on stock suspension / ride height at the moment with stock camber and alignment. My car will be getting alignment done this week so it’s the perfect time for me to play around with the negative camber within my stock limits.

Thanks in advance
