Default how do I know if I can fit BBK's?

My front wheel is 18" x 8.5" with a 61 0ffset . 7.5" inner barrel, 1" outer barrel. Can I fit something like a Brembo or Stoptech BBK? If not, what kind of spacer do I need?

go to the stoptech site, look up the S2000 bbk kit you want, print out the template, cut it out, hold it up to your rim and you will have your answer.

No, all rims have different spoke patterns. There is no single offset that will fit or not. The brembo caliper is smaller than the stoptech so you would have to take that into account as well. The only way to know for sure is to find someone with your exact rim and bbk, try it yourself, or use a template like suggested.

Here is the template for you.

http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/ch...29-2430-00.pdf

print it out. measure some of the lines to make sure it printed correctly. Cut along the dotted line and then hold up against the inside of your rim. I think the stoptech templates are pretty user friendly but them I've been looking at them for awhile.

hre 547 step lip. Offsets and size posted above. When I temporarily mounted the wheel on my car there was a bit of clearance between the back of the spoke and the front of the OEM caliper.

a bit would need to be around 2" yes inches.

print out the diagram and test fit , i highyl highly doubt the fitment.

wheel makes make different backpads..

normally they sell the low pad so customer gets max lip.

high pads are expensive to make and only sold on a as needed basis.. ud need at least 2" backpad to fit em, im guessing minimum 25mm spacer which would need new studs
