I think I got some good news. Talked to the guy that sold me the brakes. I guess Wilwood has 2 kinds one wider than the other. I have to go home and check the part number but the more narrow one he said is about 1/2 or 12mm narrower. So that would mean i might fit without a space or maybe with a 5-10mm spacer, so I should be able to keep my 20's on and not worry. Lets just hope I got the wider ones.

I have the Racing Brake 332 4-pot front kit which does not stick out as far as the other kits on the market. It was made to fit with the stock sedan sport 17" wheels and does with ~2mm to spare!

When I had the S-55's they cleared the top of the caliper by 1, maybe 2mm. They were very close.


I had my iForged made to clear a Stoptech 355 6-pot kit so they should clear anything out there if I go up.


This is the only decend pic I have of the S-55 on my car at that time.

Thanks Tim. Yeah I am going to check the part numbers tonight and hopefully they are just the wide ones. I was looking at the racing brake ones but I couldnt beat the price I got these for.

I hope it works out for you.

Depending on how low you are the fronts might rub if you go with more than a 5mm spacer. My sevas rubbed from time to time as-is but with two people in the car I am tucked to just above the top of the rim.

Yep it turns out I got the bigger calipers, he is sending me the smaller ones with the right pad priority mail and money to send the others back. I am excited. Lets hope I dont need a spacer, but I am going to buy some anyways. Should I go with 5mm or 10mm to be safe.

I would see if there is a fitmet guide and check that vs the racing brake one. I'm not sure if the S22's have more or less brake room but it would get you close.
