Brembo conversion question

I have a 07 lsj and im looking to convert to brembos what is the minimum spacer needed for the brakes to clear over a stock 18 inch wheel I have seen 2 answers one was 5mm and the other is 15mm. I just want to make sure I get the right ones.

Thanks

I would say that 15mm is closer to accurate. the SS/NA wheels like a 3mm spacer, and they actually fit, so I find it real hard to believe that the LSJ wheels would only need a 5mm.

I am using 5 mm for ccw and asa wheels. If stiner comes by Friday I can maybe try one of his stock LSJ wheels if he has them still. 15 mm i dont think is needed...

stiner sold his stock wheels. I would go with 5 mm anymore than that as a spacer your wheel will not be hub centric, and the lug nuts will have minimal engagement with the stud threads.

if I needed too I would get longer studs that's not a big deal I just wanted conformation from somebody that has the brembos on stock 18's
