Infinitely better to just get some aftermarket alloys that clear them IMO  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Or use rotors with bells and space the caliper back 20mm, that could work. What's the thickest disc brembos could take?? |

28mm IIRC.Rotors and bells would work, but it'll cost you. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

You would need to use a 8" PCD rotor so the ball joint could sit inside it otherwise you won't get the inward movement you need. That then creates another issue with the calipers - can they move outward enough to give you the space to use that sort of size rotor? ________________________________________ Rich |

Would longer wheel bolts be needed with 20mm spacers for cyclones & 406 brembos? |

For 20mm I wouldn't use anything but hubcentrics unless you like your wheels falling off  Ash's suggestion would be best if you're going with standard spacers though. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

To be honest unless you're doing track work, standard brakes (albeit with better pads) are the way to go. If you're cooking them on the road, then you're obviously driving like a tool anyway and better brakes are going to give you false confidence and you'll crash and die and the world will explode. I'd stick with standard brakes and have some nice wheels and no stupid squeal every time you fart on the middle pedal ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
