Enkei PF01's also fit no problem so can be added to the list
50mm offset 8*17. About 1.5 to 2 mm clearance at the tightest point.

so i'm completely puzzled since previous time it showed that even 15 spacer won't be enough
so what do you guys think?
to remind - my wheels are Volks RE30 17x7.5 +50.
this is a template i've used this time - measurements are good. did i cut it correctly?

please your help

weill - it doesn't fit.
it turns out i DID NOT cut the template correctly - i've cutout the red spot area:
with no cutout i see that spacer is needed.
i checked the template with 6 mm spacer that i had laying around and it wasn't enough...

I feel for you 
they are really chunky calipers. I had to sell my mf10s as i couldnt find brakes I wanted that would fit with them as they are a hopeless design for bbk. The PF01 however are designed from the outset for bbks with spokes that bow out and go right to the rim with no lip, and arent that expensive and are still light, so went for a set of them.
I hope you find a kit that will work for you

more measurement action yesterday - i went to measure Wilwood FNSL6 kit wich are 10mm narrower than Stoptech and should've fit with a breeze - but they don't 
this is because RE30 spokes are very bent at their ends.
Stoptech however seems to be working for me with 10 mm spacer.
this is bearable i think - but i'm afraid the wheel will chew the fender...

50mm offset 8*17. No way the 9*17 et 60 will clear though as the design is different as they have a lip.
About 1.5 to 2 mm clearance at the tightest point. Not enough to worry me at all. However they are very tight to the inside of the wheel. I had a wheel weight on there and it had to go, just a hairs gap with the wheel weight on!

. I have the 17*9 60 offset on the rear, no way these would clear if put on up front as they are a different design due to the lip.

I want to know this as well. Can you print the stoptech template and check? Perhaps take some pictures of the template clearance too?
