    Stock wheels wouldn't have a hope in hell of clearing 4-pots.

    what do you think the minimum offset would be to clear them because im getting some volk te37-sl's in 18x9.5 prob in a +35 offset i know the +22 offsets will clear them no worries but im worried that they will sit a bit to far out past the guards

    im rolling the crap out of the guards and going to be running tein coil-overs on a hard setting and dumped pretty low, spc ball joints running negative camber

    M_A, Hi, my only concern is the use of a Dremel to ream out a critical mounting bolt hole. Dremels are great and an essential bit of kit to have around, but it is nigh on impossible to hand-ream to concentricity and parallel. Why would you not measure the new bolt or stud diameters and then get a drill of the required "poofteenth" larger size and open out that mounting bracket hole, thus ensuring you retain the required alignments? You may have a perfectly good answer for this, I realize.

    Thread revival! @MadAussie, with your wheels @ +32, how much clearance do you have between the wheel and the caliper and did you have to use a spacer? im trying to workout the minimum offset to guarantee clearance

    Hey @rayd, I used 5mm spacers on the fronts. The LMGT1's have quite close fitment, haha!
    I'd buy a set of spacers to have handy in any case. Might want to grab some ARP extended wheel studs also.

    Cheers!

    Shame they won't fit behind stock rim:/ should also be engineered but fairly easy mod. Liking Doug's question also.
    I'm also guessing that the brembos contact back side of rim face which is why you use wheel spacers would offsetting the calipers on the mounting points enable the use of std rotors and factory rims?

    Made a discovery on the weekend - the stock space saver does fit over the brembos (with a 5mm spacer as per fitting my rims anyway). Pretty handy in the rain, in the country, with an inch and a half long wood screw hanging out of the front tyre, haha!

    Did you finish the thread of what's required to fit brembos to a 6?

    First post dude

    All that's required is:

    - Brembo callipers
    - Evo disks
    - A dremel
    - A machine shop to get the evo disks hub bore taken out
    - brake fluid
    - spacers if needed

    Probably unlikely, but worth a shot. But I don't think they'll clear.

    I wouldn't think even with spacers the stock wheels have chance, stock evo wheels have an offset of +38 and then that's still only just clearing

    Yeah, I've got 5mm spacers on the front (and ARP extended studs), callipers clear the RAYS by about a mil lol

    Hey,

    very interesting on the brake conversion.

    since the brake conversion, are the MPS 6 calipers and rotors available for me to buy?

    after 12 months... I would think not.

    and even if he still does have them, if they have been sitting dry, or with banjo open, with no movement of the piston,
    you are looking at stuffed seals... plus postage from WA.

    seems to be a few 6MPS' popping up being wrecked in various places lately.
    Best just to wait and get ready to jump on a set Pete.
    think even Bruce had a 6MPS being wrecked a few months ago... maybe ask to see if he hung onto the Calipers.
