Need advice on BBK clearence question???

[Blackoutz]

Im going tomm to pick up a set of Stoptech 13inch brakes and just need to find out if there going to fit. I currently have BBS LM's on my car. The sizes are 17x7.5 and 18x9.5. I am not sure of the offfset though. I do know however that the wheels fit very flush in the front and wouldn't have any more room to be moved out with a spacer.

I need someone with experience with BBS wheels and Stoptech brakes. Please chime in if you have done this combonation before.

thanks alot
Blaine

without the offsets I think the prime wheel gurus can't help......my gut tells me you are sol with the stoptechs.

Maybe because they don't fit.

The Stoptechs are wider than Brembos or MovIt calipers and don't fit most wheels with out spacers.

LMs with MovIt

Since you have the wheels, the best way to check if the Stoptechs fit is to go to their website, download the template, and check for caliper clearance yourself.

Yes, good advice. But when printing the template, enlarge it by at least 8-10% to be on the safe side .... there is some variation from their posted template measurement to actual printed template due to printer variations. Also, paste/tape the paper print out on some hard board.

You will need spacers for sure to clear a BBK with those LMs
