Brembo test fit

[ReplicaR]

Clears the 17 inch Cobra R track wheels just fine, but 97 daily wheels need what looks like a 15mm spacer. Solution in works.

That's sweet. I'm assuming it's the 00R set up. I'm surprised any 17's will fit. I thought they needed 18's.

Yes, that is a 00R setup, there is actually ton of space between the wheel and the caliper when you are looking at it from the back. The main concern while trying to make these brakes fit is the backspacing to clear the pistons in the front of the caliper. My 97 cobra wheels for example require a 15mm spacer to work, while 95 Cobra R wheels clear the brakes with space to spare

what size are the rotors?

 

[ReplicaR]

13 inch.

very nice

For some reason I thought that the 00' R setup was 14" rotors, with the 4 piston brembo calipers.... I could be wrong though.

 

[ReplicaR]

The 14 inch rotor is the GT500 setup. 00R setup is the 13 inch, which makes it possible to use 17 inch wheel. There are some people out there who somehow made a 13.5 inch Roush setup work with 17s, but the tolerances were microscopic.
