Wheel Spacers for Big Brake Kit?
I dont know alot about brakes, spacers, wheel offset etc... So Im not sure this is even possible. Anyways
Anyone here used spacers in order to clear a big brake kit? The rims I have now wont take a larger kit(due to offset) and instead of buying new rims(I like mine) I was wondering if anyone has just done spacers to clear a 14" kit and if so how much work am I looking at? Tips?
I think I'm currently running a 38MM offset.

But as of right now I run 20" torque thrust rims which are quite abit larger then the stock 17's the brakes used to stop. Bigger rims, bigger brakes. And it'll look better with brakes which fill the wheel better.
So no one has any experience with spacers?

I am planning on the SSBC V8 kit which is an 8-piston front brake kit and still have not decided on rear brake kit. almost all big brake kits only require an 18" wheel but i know someone on here posted that they used a spacer so they could use their fanblades with the GT500 brembos

Hey there,
Shoot me an e-mail (pnicholson@stillen.com) and I can get you some info on the AP Racing big brake setup for the Mustang. Have them on one of the cars here at work - amazing. Front and rear brakes available (6 or 4 piston front, 4 piston rear).
Thanks

All 4 corners of the car provide braking to slow the car. If you have the option to do all 4 corners thats always best. Not everyone has a 4 corner kit available though (AP Racing does).
I figure if specialty car manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bugatti, Caterham, Holden HSV, Koenigsegg, Lotus, Noble, Spyker, TVR and more rely on AP Racing on all 4 corners - why wouldnt I if I could
