Who has done it?

I have a set and the front don't clear the calipers. Its at least a half inch needed to clear them. I'm kinda bummed that I couldn't confirm it before hand.

Just curious to see who has them on a Brembo package car.

So.... a buddy had 1/2 inch spacers to try, and they provide more clearance than needed. But thread engagement is not so great.

Went to AutoZone to try the 5/16 ones they carry. They provide about the same clearance as the factory S197 Brembo wheels.

No way I'd ever use those garbage spacers though. I'm going to order the 1/4 inch ones from Maximum Motorsports, hopefully those do the trick.

PP wheels are on. Seems like a 1/4 inch spacer is enough.... it is very tight but I've driven 15 miles or so tonight and they don't touch at all.

A buddy located a deal for me on 2015+ Roush 20 x 9.5 wheels and I discovered they would not fit front of my 2011 with brembo. I purchased a pair of 5mm spacers to see if they were enough. Nope, they still didn't clear the calipers, in fact, both spacers on one hub didn't clear either. After looking at it, I think I needed 14mm + spacer and likely better/longer studs for the Roush wheel.

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews/opinions on spacers and I decided to buy different wheels. The Roush wheels did clear the back axle where I have the OEM caliper on the bracket that allows you to use the 13.8mm gt500 rear rotors.
