Work Emotion (forged) size is 17x7.5 +52 with Brembo gran turimo big brake kit (13 inch rotors) with a clearance of .50 mm to 1.0 mm between the caliper and the wheel spoke. using a 6mm spacer and standard OEM studs.

first, i got to thank sherwin @ brake zone, van nuys CA for the miracle spacers

To me it's a perfect clearance. A set-up i've been wanting a long time without using longer studs. the wheel spoke looks like it's touching the brembo calipers but with a hair of a clearance. on another note thinking, is this set-up risky??? That question is always in my mind.

here is some pics...

 

very nice set up! i've never seen the center caps before and they (like the te-37's) always looked a little strange to me without caps.

i too would be curious about the clearance issue that youre worried about. what'll happen if the wheel flexes during a hard turn? will the rotor/caliper flex too?

i had wilwoods and fikse's on my audi that had a hair more clearance than yours and when it was time to rebuild the calipers, i noticed that there was a little scraping on the top of the caliper. nothing major, but still made me think..

hopefully someone will give you a definitive answer soon.

and one more time.. NICE!!

 

Gah!

Looks great, nice setup and I would also be nervous about the clearance...

Where are the entire car pics??? You need to stop making multiple threads and teasing us with no real pictures!!!

Geez you tease!!!

 

Very nice, but pics of the whole car would be nice .

Brembos are hot

 

pics of entire car !!!!!

 

Damn! Stopping power never looked so good.
