Resolved 2G What offset with Brembo brakes?

[mattsGSTeclipse]

Like the title says, what offset do I need for EVO Brembo brakes? I have the brakes and tried to fit them with my 18" axis reverbs with a 42 offset and it didn't work.

I believe anything +38 or less.

Going from a 42mm wheel to a 38mm wheel, will my wheel get pushed out father? Same size wheel, 18"x7.5" I'm really low and my wheels can't go out anymore. Fenders are already rolled.

What issue are you having, spokes rubbing the caliper? If so, just saying you need XX offset isn't much help. Different styles of rims will have different spoke clearences even though they could be the same offset. I'm running my Wilwood kit on 40mm offset on an 8" rim. The wilwood caliper should be fairily similar being a 4 piston caliper as well & I have lots of clearance between the caliper to spoke.

yup caliper hitting the spokes of the wheel. I'm going with g games wolf 77 wheels next so I think I'll be ok with the 38mm offset. I'm just worried I'm going to hit my fenders.

I ran a 35mm but had to roll my rear fenders.

Well in that case, like I said, it has more to do with spoke design then offset. 40mm offset is ideal for our cars & with mine I probably have 15mm or so clearance between the back of the spokes & my Wilwood caliper. You can measure how much room you need for clearance from the rotor mounting surface to the caliper front but this won't always help as most sellers won't want to try & get measurments for you (or don't actually have the rim in stock to do so)
