Brembo Brakes And Wheel Choices

[SJR]

im not sure how big or what type of brembo brakes i have. but does any one know what the off set is or how to measure it exactly..

i cant find any decent wheels to put on my R33.

does any one know of any or can help me with this.

thanks

plenty of rims that will fit over the Brembos... can't be calculated exactly as it depends upon the design of each rim and how the spokes are shaped on the inside of the rim... obviously wheels with more positive offset (hub out towards the edge of the rim) will stand a greater chance of not fowling on the brake calipers... I've got R34 brembos all round on my car and the 17" Gmax wheels fit over the brakes with plenty of room to spare... the wheels up front are 8" wide with a 35+ offset

hope that helps:)

Also depends on which Brembos? The GTR Brembos are more compact then the other common F40/F40 Brembo callipers. I think if you stay with an offset of less then +30 you will be very safe. I am running 17 x 8.5 +30 and I have had clashes with callipers with two sets of wheels, (Desmond Regamaster and Work XD9) Typicall cast wheels means you need to have bit more up your sleeve with the forged wheels typically offering better clearance.

But as Nick said, there are plenty of wheels that will fit, just be wary of some of the cast wheels as I have had forged 17 x 8 +34 that have cleared every brake setup I have trial fitted to the car. But then 8.5+ 30 have had problems. Remember that the R33 GTR was 9” with +30 offset and they had plenty of clearances
