I apologize if this has been covered before. If it has, anyone with the link?

Anyway, suppose you find some deal on forged wheels made for the non-brembo oem brakes, and you need to make it fit on 03-04 oem brembo brakes, how thick of spacers do you need to clear the brembo calipers with the same final clearance as if it was the oem non-brembo calipers? front and rear?

I know it's not a matter of offset to clear calipers, it's more like the amount of backspacing from the spokes to the back mounting face of the wheel which is not mentioned or measured in any wheel specification(that i know of). I'm also well aware that spacers may require some fender rolling or mod but i will worry about that later.

Since the brembo calipers sticks out more, i was wondering if anyone knows the difference in mm from the oem non-brembo calipers.

 

Morning Bump...anyone?

 

Afternoon bump...any wheel guru?

 

you might be able to get by on a 10mm spacer

 

Need wheel in question, size and offsets and pics with wheel mounted. IMHO, you probably need an additional 2-3" of clearance vs a non-brembo setup

 

wow, brembos sticks out 2-3" more inches than non-brembo calipers?! Didn't realize it was that much, does that pertain to the front AND rear?

reason i ask is that i might be able to get a deal on iforged made for non-brembo G35coupe and of course, i have the brembos , i wanted to maintain the original distance of the spoke and non brembo caliper clearance as iforged intended, not more, not less. As everyone knows, iforged doesn't really give out its offsets, plus you can still have terrible offsets and still be able to clear the brembos from the spokes. I'll try to post some pics/diagram to clarify things.

Why be picky? just being poor AND **** i guess. If i only had a friend with a non-brembo G35, i would've done the measurement myself.

 

anyone else has any input?

 

i had to use a 25mm spacer and use -5 degrees of camber to compensate for it. will never do that again.
