I am looking at buying wheels but I am worried about the Brembo width combined with the spoke angles/space and how much of a spacer I may or may not need. I was wondering if anyone knew how much wider the Brembos were than SS/SC calipers. I am not talking about length I am talking about how much wider they poke out from the rotors.

My situation: I have a TC with the brembos, I am looking at buying some 18x9 +35 wheels exactly as the ones in these pictures however Honky Boy has the ss/sc calipers and not brembos. Anyone think these exact wheels would fit the brembos by looking at these pics and if not how much of a spacer I may need?

They look like they barely clear the lsj caliper soo most likely not the brembo without a spacer

Probably a 10mm spacer.

Do they make that wheel in +20 or +25?

you know that wheel needs custom drilled and 2craze wont do it right?

Affirmative. I am getting them custom drilled elsewhere if they fit around the brembos.
Sadly no they make them in 47 and 35... 47 in 5x110 35 in other patterns (Redrilled)

I am hoping to not have to re stud my hubs because I didnt want to run anything over a 5mm spacer.

They only make them in 18x8 +42 for 5x110.
No concavity.

I'm not getting standard made I am getting another set re drilled, this has already been covered in my original post

yellowsupercharged06: Know of any other 18x9 wheels besides Varrstoens that aren't too expensive to get drilled that will fit??

Since a 10mm spacer would make these +25 would these poke about the same as some of the varrstoen 18x9.5 +25 or +35 with 5mm spacers?

your not going to find a 18x9 wheel in a 5x110 bolt pattern that will fit.

I am not one to get wheels re-drilled ... there is a safety factor that concerns me so i dont have any advice for you on that subject.


What are your intentions that you need such a wide wheel ? Stance .. check out the stance thread im sure they have more info than you need ...

I would just go a 5x114.3 hub swap if i was you and then you can get wheels without a problem.

Does anyone make the swap parts already done? I havent looked too far into the 5x114.3 swap mainly because I didn't want to chip out the extra money to get new 5x114.3 hubs and rotors.

Does he buy the hubs, drill them, and then just send them to you or do you have to get everything and get it to him? Like I said I have never looked into this other than the ss/sc guy that swapped.

Is there a thread where guys post pics and wheel specs of 5x114.3 wheels that fit?

Edit:
OK What route would you go:
1) Get a second set of hubs re drilled to 5x114.3 with extended lugs installed. 10mm spacer and a 18x8.5 +35 varrstoen es221 and just swap hubs back to stock for stock wheels with winter tires

2) Get a 19mm 5x110 to 5x114.3 adapter and 18x8.5 +35 varrstoen es221 and just remove the adapters to go back to stock wheels for winter?

3) Hub redrill to 5x114.3 Varrstoen 18x8.5 +25 dont worry about the spacer.

None of those.. why get varrstoens if you swap patterns? There are so many way better options, coming from someone who owns a set. Option 2 won't ever even come close to fitting in the fenders without a massive amount of camber.

Im not looking to spend a ton on super expensive wheels I am looking for something I like the look of no matter what brand/maker they come from.

Alright I posted else where with this question but much of a spacer would an XXR 521 in18x8.5 +35 5x114.3 need to get around the brembos?
