Genesis Brembo Clearance with NT03?

[Jtantuco]

yep, that’ll do it. I’ve used those in the past with similar experience.

my god its insane lol even though it goes away after like 2 mins of driving its pretty annoying; to the point i may have to just change em.

do you guys think this wheel will fit, or might I still need a spacer? trying to avoid needing a spacer. these are xxr 565's 18.8.5+35 offset, a convex wheel that has my hopes up to fit without a spacer.

Most likely will need spacers especially the way it’s designed. A site I found useful for fitment was fitmentindustries gallery.

Put in our vehicle and it populates a bunch of different setups sent from different people.

That looks great! I'm with you on wishing I'd gotten 245s instead of 235s last time I bought tires.. How is the brake pedal feel with the Brembos? I'm pretty disappointed with how soft the OEM feel is, especially right off the top.

That’s the main reason I wanted to do it, it definitely feels a lot more responsive but I also have changed to steel lines which I would recommendif you doing your brakes anyways.

Brake pedal travel will go long on factory lines with the Gen Coupe Brembo Kit, irrespective of pad selection. I experienced this, and changed to the Goodridge SS lines which restored and slightly improved the feel.

^ SS Lines on stock calipers make the brake pedal feel super tight, so it's a win-win with any caliper setup. Pads there's a whole plethora of choices, even more so with the Brembo setup since now you can run the same pads as an Evo, up to 2017 STI, Gen Coupe of course, and other Brembo 4-pot calipers.

I can affirm that the Enkei NT03M's (18x9.5", 40mm) don't clear both the Brembo's, Wildwoods, or 27Won BBK without at least an 8mm spacer. That is why I sold mine. I recently purchased the 27Won kit.?

I have similar wheel design to those, but 18x8.5. I did not clear and I have +35 offset. I’m using a 3mm spacer for bare minimum clearance. More than likely you will not clear also, these Brembo calipers are no joke lol not small at all

What wheels are these?

Which wheels you are running with 27won?

 

[Kaulpenney]

Avid 1 AV-27's

Do you by chance know the weight on those? Also are they okay? They seem to be at a lower price point.

Motegi MR148's 18x9.5", 45mm.

Do you know which piston size wilwoods? I’ve been looking at the 4 piston that two step performance offers.

I was doing research on the NT03 and I found a Lexus forum where guys are running the same 18X9.5 + 40 with a 6 piston caliper and no spacers.

 

[SonicBreezerST160]

I believe those Lexus 6-piston calipers, also utilize a 14" rotor, which would move the calipers to the best spot under the spokes for maximum clearance. I know they did not work with my buddies 4 piston (13" rotor) kit on his MkIII Supra.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well, they must sit further inside of the wheel. Subaru STI owners run either an 8mm spacer or 10mm to clear the brembos they have.

I guess I’ll just have to buy another set of wheels. To bad, I really like the SBC finish on my wheels. I think I’ll go with the RPF1 in SBC finish same spec.

Not sure about the exact weight, but from lifting my avid wheels and tires vs stock wheel and tires there’s a weight difference. Just never weighed them to get exact numbers. I have had zero issues, neither have others running different avid wheels. I’ve hit some pretty nasty potholes where it was enough to cause concern. Each time pulling over, for precaution and have not had an issue. No cracks, dents, or balancing issues. Going on 2 years now with them. My only con with them I guess was that the color online looked darker than what they are in person, but I’ve grown to like them

my old STI on stock brembos. 10mm spacer with extended studs.
