Stoptech BBK 14.1 Fitment for OEM 18's wheel
 
Does anyone know if the 14.1 full brake BBK system will fit in my OEM 18's wheels? Plz help me here

As I replied in the last thread you started on this, they will not fit. They won't fit no matter how many times you ask ;-)

Have you tried it though ? because stop tech guys said it should fit somehow? and some ppl are telling they fit? i am confused.

BombRush Feb 12, 2005 10:30 AM

Then i am guessing 13 will fit for sure right? front and rear the BBK set..

TINMAN Feb 12, 2005 12:10 PM

it will fits.i did that on my car.but the gap between the brake caliper and the spinning wheel is about .060" of an inch.that's about the thickness of a stick of gum.and after installation the ABS light came on due to the fact that the abs sensor distance need to be ajust.i don't know where you live but if you're in socal,take it to Street Image in Baldwin Park.they did mine and know all about it.

jesus BOMB..stop asking and read.in the previous post just above your last one i typed
I DID THAT ON MY CAR

Tinman is right, Bomb. In absolute terms, it will fit without rubbing. Eagle1 said that there is only ~1 mm of clearance though where you would want a minimum of 3mm or so.

Even though it doesn't rub when it's sitting in the garage, I think the question you have to ask yourself is whether you're willing to take that chance when you might be driving a little on the hard side. Even though the brakes and wheels are mounted to the same assembly, the metal is still capable of flexing. If it flexes too much...

get wheel spacers then or invest in some 18's with a +23 offset (or around their)

BombRush Feb 14, 2005 12:06 AM

I see I see... I think you need min of 2mm for clearance.. I don't think I can get the new rims but I will try using spacers

BombRush Feb 14, 2005 12:10 AM

Since i am big noooob can anyone tell me briefly how spacer work? spacer won't change any look of my rims or anything right?

The spacers will not fix the problem. The clearance issue is with the inner rim, not the spokes.

Go to their webiste. I believe they have a template you can download. Cut it out and you can physically check for yourself.

jdj27x Aug 2, 2005 05:49 AM
