AleksS30 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Has anyone experienced any wheel fitment issues after doing the 4x4 vented front brakes? I'm running 15" rota rb wheels on my car but I'm concerned about the clearence Between the caliper and the back of the spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 ounce Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I had to use a 1/2" spacer for mine but they aren't Rota's. I have some friends with 16" Rota RB with the 4X4 vented brakes and they said they had no clearance issues with the spokes. I don't think they'll be any issues with the 15" diameter .

drifterZ_74 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 i have 15x8.5 epsilons on the front and needed a 10mm spacer to clear the calipers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 It all really depends on your wheels and spoke designs. I have 15x8.5 simmons -19 and do not need spacers due the the spoke design curving out and back in. Most wheels however have a straighter design spoke and will need spacers especially smaller 15" wheels. The factory studs are pretty short also and rule of thumb is you wanna make sure your lug nut grips at least 5-6 threads to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
