Very little IIRC. StevenM is your best man - I know he had to wait for some large spacers in order to fit his Wilwoods behind his MF10s.

aint Wilwoods supposed to be one of the smallest calipers of the range, similar to Brembo and Spoon?!

I think its the MF10 spoke design - hence the change in design on the new Mugen wheels. One of the reasons I'm in no hurry to get ride of my SSRs - should be able to fit any BBKs behind there, should I take the plunge (in which case the Tarox six pots PJL has are top of my list at present).

Wilwoods are fitted with 5mm spacers at the front .... which are about the smallest spacers you can get.


There is very little space behind the MF-10s and this is almost certaintly why Mugen have now changed the design for the new wheels.

Only reason the SSRs have more space is that they are not the correct offset to start with. I am hoping that I can fit my BBS wheels without spacers for the same reason

I think with the SSRs you will still need spacers if you go for Brembo or AP or some of the other BBKs. (I looked into this when I had the wheels).

none of the BBK with fit under hte mugen Mf10 without an spacer. Maybe Wilwood 4 pot, but I have not head anything good about them


Just for your reference my 17" wheels barely fits the Stoptech BBK; if you want BBK and no spacers get the 18" spuerleggera and ultraleggera, 18"SSR GT7 (similar as prodrive). you cna also get spoon calipers and spoon Sw388 +35 ET or 16" work emotion +35 ET
