Hi Guys

Looking at updating my BA to Brembo brake package, what model XR rim should I get to suit a 355mm rotor? Do all 18” rims suit? I have heard that the standard 18’BF rims won’t work, would this be true.

Thanks Muz

Muz, why don't you go the AP Racing Brake package with those Rotors!

Six/Four's fit under my standard 17 inch Ford Rims and my Ford 18 inch Rims!

Throw in some Ferrado 2500 or 3000 Pads and you have Brakes that just won't go away!

Saves the cost of new Rims!

Thanks

I will look into that, but I have already purchased this package. If this works out to be cheaper I will have to sell the other rotors.

correct me if I am wrong but I have been told by a couple of sources that the BA MK 11 18" XR8 rims will clear the 4/6 pot brembo brakes, can anyone confirm this?

BA XR8 18" wheels do fit over brembo 4pot calipers with 355mm rotors. only just though.

I have been trying to get a definate answer and now I know because I physically put this wheel on a mates brembo rotor/caliper!

It's not the diamiter of the BF rims which cause them to hit but the inner side of the spokes, BA 18's will clear with about 5mm of room which is plenty.
