on the inside it was about an inch or so, i didnt measure, when we mount them on friday I will

I have a feeling the cailpers on the ss/na is different then the ss/sc calipers. I had 6mm to my caliper, maybe thats why ss/na wheels fit brembos on a tc but ss/sc wheels don't with out a 5mm spacer?

I'm dying to know if they will clear the Brembos. I'm looking at a set of 18x8.5 +25mm.

When you get them on the car again. Can you measure from the face of the rotor to the inside of the spokes? I need to know how much clearance there is there.

Does anyone know exactly how much wider the Brembo's are compared to the SC brakes?

If you had an inch with them dangling, you will have NO clearance on the ground. What's the spacing like between the inside of the wheel and your ebrake cable?
