Default Which calipers for CE28Ns?

To save trawling through the masses of threads, can anyone definitively say which aftermarket calipers will work with my soon to be fitted 17x7.5 ET50 CE28's WITHOUT spacers?

I'm not looking for improved braking performance per se, just something a little more aesthetically pleasing than the OEM items.

Thanks

Mark

none offset is too high
just upgrade the pads or a space is required if you want new calipers

for +50 you will prob need at least +10mm spacer for spoon caliper and more for Endless calipers. So just get the upgraded pad and disc for your application

The Wilwood 4 pots that I have may fit without spacers.

I need 5mm spacers with MF-10s with +52 offset.

The design of these wheels in not good for BBKs

Tarox 6 pots and Pinnacle (Brakeman) may fit. If you want additional details on the Brakeman kit then drop me a PM and i'll send you the info he forwarded me.

Thanks everyone for the information - but I'm confused...

The diagram below shows wheel offset:



The greater the offset, the more clearance between the broken line and the red line.

The posted Spoon caliper link states the spoon calipers will fit a CE28N 17x7.5 +43 offset w/ +3mm spacer. That's +46 mm offset in total.

I have CE28N 17x7.5 +50 offset so I have 4 mm more clearance and than the above so I don't need a spacer?

That thread is really only relevant for Spoon calipers which require a spacer for CE28n 17x7.5 ET50. AFAIK there's only a few kits available which may clear; Wilwood, Pinnacle and Tarox 6 pot...

It's the other way round .... + 3mm gives 40mm offset in total.

The lower the offset the more the wheel sticks out of the arches.

Thanks!

Just found this link:

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

It states with the new wheels I have 13 mm less clearance than with the original 17"x 7" +43 offset.
