Wheel Combo that fits ATS Brembos.

[GodStang]

I was not sure the best way to do this but will go ahead and start a running list of wheels that fit Brembos. Please post up what you have. Info needed: Year, how you installed The Brembos (Kit or drill), wheels with size, and spacers, any other helpful info pictures would be best. I will update and clean up as we get info added. If you have ideas let me know.

Wow you have plenty of room. What drilling did you have done? The offset bushings with the M12 bolts? And if so, what offsets? The 1mm bolt spacing inward and then 2-3mm downward toward the spindle? Where did you source the bushings?

I've got my ATS calipers in the mail (Only $130 for a set of used calipers!) and I'm going to give a shot at making my own bushings.

@KBR thank you so much for posting up all those pictures. This helps me tremendously as I want to ditch my 18in FR500s down the road but was concerned about the breaks clearing.

I am considering Rovos Durbans and it looks like they clear by a mile.

 

[KBR]

I found the above info on Facebook, so as with anything on the internet YMMV. After 2 years of debate, I've decided to run AFS 18s.

 

[Blkkbgt]

@KBR have you seen any 14 inch XTS setups out there by chance? I know this setup isn't nearly as popular.

 

[98 svt]

Anyone know if the 18" LMR Series 2 wheels would clear?

Ill be able to tell you in a week or so. There's miles of room with the stock cobra caliper so I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

 

[CobraBob]

Do you have those wheels now, Paul?

Yes. Picked them up locally for super cheap.

Sounds good I look forward to hearing what you find out.

Way more than enough room. A good half inch from the spokes and no where near the wheel barrel

Awesome thanks for the pics. The calipers look great.

No problem. This is by far my favorite mod to date. Really gives the car a more modern look.

 

[TERMINATORSAINT]

Looking at running a 13 inch rotor with the ATS calipers. Anyone know if the 1994-04 SVE 18x9 wheels would clear?
