[QUICK6]

Gday All,

Does anyone if FG XR6 Tubro 18inch XR Wheels can accommodate 4/1 Brembo's ?

Cheers

Jack

Any 17" wheels would be good too ie. for track day wheels?
As slick tyre selection are easier to source in 17".

It aint gonna happen mate, 17 inch rims and Brembos do not mix unfortunately.

Unless you can make your own rims with the correct offset and pcd that is

Tocchi got his 6 pot 355s under Volk TE37s in 17x9. Offsets were +17 or +22 I think?

Nismo LM GT4s
19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +30

Enkei PF01
18x8.5 +30

Anyone else posting may want to mention offsets too?

What weird offset do the V8 supercars use to fit the Alcons (375mm rotor) with 17" wheels?

Most if not all 17" rims would be very hard for Brembo 355mm discs and calipers to fit inside, in my 18" TS50 rims you can't even fit a pinky inbetween the caliper and the inside of the rim, makes cleaning an absolute ****

[FLOORED]

All is not lost with 17" wheels as you can run 4 piston AP Racing calipers and 330mm rotors under 17" wheels if needed

[WILDB]

Speedy Infernos in 19" clear them by miles.

[MR_FG_09]

I believe that speedy FIN RS will clear brembos as well as speedy CROSS-S rims.

Advanti Racing Desire
Advanti Racing Sonic (new style)
Petrol Vengeance
Speedy Inferno
Speedy Cobalt
ROH Torque

Also there seems to be some FG 19" factory wheels that would be good to confirm if anyone has fitted brembo's behind as well thanks.

I can confirm that FG G6E 19" option rims will NOT fit, nor will 18" or 19" XR option wheels.

I know this is an old post matt but do you know if the roh mantis in 18's will fit over the 4 piston's?

I am unsure but if the wheels are on the car can you measure the distance between the outside rotor face and the inside of the spoke at the most outer part of the disc and let me know.

Unfortunately I don't have them fitted as stupid me listened to a ford tuning shop who said getting fpv brembo's would be the best bang for your buck but never said anything about upgrading wheels. Anyway in an roh product catalogue it said that both the 18's and 19's in the shadow chrome fit fpvs or xr6 with brembo so seeing as though I just spent over a thousand bucks on a set of potenzas these wheels have let me breath a sigh of relief
So here's a pic to go on the list too

After booking the car into bridgestone the guy has now gone a but cautious about saying they will def fit so he said once they fit one can I check that they will be ok before putting the rest on. So currently it just has the standard brakes so once he fits one wheel what clearance measurement am I looking for that will mean the brembos will definitely clear? Thanks for your help matt. I bought a fair bit of stuff through race brakes for my vl turbo show car and like everyone on here will agree when I say that your willingness to help people and your knowledge is second to none and is greatly appreciated

Thanks for the feedback.Generally the wheel manufacturer will know if it fits the factory Brembo brakes. What i generally use for the front is this
"measure the distance between the outside rotor face and the inside of the spoke at the most outer part of the disc and you need atleast 90mm gap"
I will try and find a template and we are finally working on a Brembo 6 pot kit that moves inwards a fair bit plus we have other kits under way that sit minimum 10mm further in.

[bigbretty]

Speedy Envy's from what i understand won't, which is unfortunate because that's what i have

[WILDB]

Envys definitely won't.

[Tocchi]

17x9 +15 (all round) Rays Volk TE37s cleared my 6 pot brembos

[XR Lita]

Do you have any pics of the car with the Volks on?

[Tocchi]

yeah, see below they were my track rims for a while

[XR Lita]

That's gorgeous. Exactly what I plan to use them for too. 19" rubber is too expensive for drift days

[CHLAXN]

here are my new wheels clear 6 pot brembos.. KMC rockstars 20x8's

[tom_woolley]

does anyone know of any other 17inch wheels that clear?
also do 17inch wheels clear the fpv pbr's?

No 17" wheels will clear the Brembo 355mm kits sorry and there are 17" wheels that will clear the PBR 325mm twin piston set up.
I haven't sold one in a while because everyone is fitting 355mm kits or larger BUT we have some 4 piston kits with either a AP Racing or Brembo caliper that use a 330mm to 336mm rotor that some 17" wheels fit over but these front kits generally cost about $3150 or so.

Not a street wheel but my 17x4.5" racestar front runners clear 355 Brembo's with ample room.

[ToCo]

I am just trying to fit some Brembo 4 pot calipers with 355mm rotors over my 18inch Speedy Infernos and unfortunately they are not clearing.

[Phildo]

Clutching At Straws Dept:
According to Bendix and other sources, the Lexus IS F and a couple of Mercs also use the same front pads. Meaning that it's probably the same front caliper (ie Brembo 6 piston).

http://bendix.com.au/catalogue?manuf...t=&part=DB1845

So, when searching for wheels overseas, it would seem to be useful to look for wheels that also fit:
Mercedes-Benz SLK Class: Jun 2004 - NOW
Mercedes-Benz CLK 55 AMG: 2004 - NOW
Lexus IS F

Merc is a different stud pattern to Falcon, but the wheel shape should clear Brembos. Lexus is the same stud pattern so it's just a matter of checking the offset.

I'm still looking for suitable wheels for my taxi. I decided on BA XR8 rims a while ago because I need something with a simple five spoke design that's easy to keep clean.

Unfortunately, it turns out that BA XR8 drivers are completely incapable of driving more than a few metres without finding a kerb to smash into, so all the wheels that I come across are too scratched. Very frustrating. My nice shiny brand new new Brembo calipers are feeling very abandoned.

The search continues...
