I saw someone posted rear 20" svtpp wheel will not clear brembo caliper with out spacer. Is it possible to machine inside of spoke to clear brembo while not sacrifice structure and rigidity of wheel?
Crazy question for 20" svtpp wheel install in front
- Thread starter lsp408
- Start date
And easier? :shrug:
Just a thought without spacer. Oh well
Check with Steve at Trueforged wheels. He can do the Alcoa SS wheels, so he might be able to do the PP wheels.
Worth a shot.

widen rear 20s... and keep stock 19s
personal believe. On any svtpp gt500.
if u can fit the widest tire possible in the market, you are good to go on stocks!!

I only want to go with 20" svtpp at the front because of tire selection. I try not to mis match front and rear. The 19 front and 20 rear made selections to only a few.
yep. i tell people this all the time when they inquire about doing a 19/20 set up.
yeah, i would definitely suggest using a spacer up front instead of trying to machine the spokes down. i dont think you'll find anyone crazy enough to do that anyways. they have NO idea how it would affect the structural integrity of the wheels. did you see that guy who's wheel broke on the track? highly likely from being too thin of a spoke.
and use a spacer out back as well so it doesnt look like the front wheels have more offset than the rears lol. if you can get away with .25" spacer and still clear the brakes than you shouldnt need longer studs.

The 20" inch won't clear but the 19" does?
It's not a diameter issue, it's an offset or hub center thickness issue. The wheel sits in too far and contacts the caliper face.
I feel just the opposite. Seems to me there are more 20" options which are also cheaper.
sounds like the issue on the 19/20 fitment and yes there are more choices in 20" than 19", for these cars. for good sizes and tires that will actually perform.
Bringing this one back...
I am about to install rear svtpp wheels on the front of my 14gt500. All i should need are 1/4" wheel spacers correct?
Anything else i should look out for? Want the car to be safe still.
Best wheel spacer for the job?
Has anyone done this yet? Pics?

If I remember correctly, the wheels are centered by the hub, hubcentric, and not the lugnuts. If that is the case, you will have to make sure that the there is sufficient hub exposed above the spacer to do it's job.
I accidently mounted one of my back wheels on the front and it seemed to seat, but when I tried to rotate the wheel by hand, it would not move. It is probably not going to take a very thick spacer to get the job done.

I currently run stock base 20s all around on my '14. I use ARP studs all around and billet hubcentric 5/8" spacers all around. The rears are widened to 11" and the spacers give a fully flush look, I like it. Previously posted pics and made a thread but on iPad now.
The '13-14 wheels have a slightly different offset and have bigger brakes, so I doubt 1/4" spacer will work, likely 1/2" but it was easy and clean to use 5/8" all around.
Good luck.

based on all the research ive done it appears the wheels have a 6mm difference in offset with is about 1/4"
a friend let me borrow some spacers to test fit make sure the wheel clears.
How much did it run to do the arp studs? Did you do all 4 wheels?
If the cost creeps up to much i might just put that money towards some tf or ccw and call it a day.
Thanks for the input
I did the FRPP wheel hubs with upgraded bearings/studs installed. Its a link to click in member Tob's signature of mod links.
I did the fronts because I knew I may need front spacers for drag skinnies and did the rears when I built the axle.
I could not find a billet hubcentric spacer less than 1/2".

awesome ill check them out thanks
How deep is the centering register on the hubs? It may be too shallow to center the wheel if anything thicker than flat 1/4" spacer is used. That would explain why a 1/2" hubcentric spacer is the thinnest available.
