Default HELP with volk +50 offset wheel + brembo bbk

I have a set of 18x7.5 +50 front setup CE28n and would like to fit the brembo bbk under it. What size spacers (brand?) should I expect to run to get enough clearance? Do I need to run extended studs? Also what size tire should I use so I don't rub?

Your input is appreciated.

215 series tires should be ok. I believe that you will need a 7 or 8mm spacer which will need extended studs to run.

thanks for your reply. I was curious that if anyone has run this setup on their S, or it's just a general rule of thumb?

I am about to order the brembo Gt kit but just want to be sure that it'll DEFINATELY work.

Thanks Ryan.

+50 is not going to be enough...

Read the search on BBK for Brembos and decide for yourself...

Good luck

Are you saying the it's IMPOSSIBLE to fit a brembo kit under the +50 offset CE28n? Does anyone here have this setup?

not saying its impossible jus not smart if you have the brembos and plan on tracking it would be best to get a better offset imo. if this is jus daily driver, then id look at the wilwoods due to the better size of the caliper, thus making it easily compatable w/ a 17 x 7.5 +50 wheel

brembos are nice though let us know what you come up with

I got my information from Johnss2k who used to run the Brembos with the ce28ns.
