I need a measurement please (brakes)

[jasonlee]

Hello,

I am looking for a measurement from the center of the wheel to the outside edge of the brake caliper on an evo with the stock brembo calipers. basically I am wondering about some clearances. if anybody could get that measurement for me I would appreciate it.

thanks!

Without taking my wheel off, I measured 7".

I think he is looking for a measurement from the center of the wheel. That would be 0 offset, would i not?
so on an 8" wheel it would be in the neighborhood of 3.75 to 4.25"... big fat hairy guess.

since my car is in the shop I can't do the actual measurement.

whoops, that would mean a measurement of around -.5 inches to +.5 inches

whoops whoops whoops. never-mind, honestly some people. sorry for my confusion

[jasonlee]

you are thinkin a little to much into it....

basically i guess i should have asked if an enkei rpf1 sized 17"x8.5 (+40mm offset) would fit over the brakes. I am pretty sure its gonna but pretty close on the outside edge of the caliper to the inside edge of the wheel.

[jasonlee]

well, I dont have any evo rotors, but it seems like the calipers fit in the wheels.

it looks like the 17x8.5 35mm RPF1 fits. that is a size that was being discussed on the other evo board.

[Warrtalon]

Well, yeah it should fit. 17X8 is our stock size with that same offset.
