Need help to test fit my wheels using Big Brake kit.
I have seem to have problems with my new wheels fitting a Big Brake kit. I can't really add spacers because my fenders will start cutting my tires. I was wondering if there was anyone in So Cal that had Stoptech or Brembo's on their 210 that could let me test fit my front wheel to make sure it clears the caliper. I'm not really in the mood to spend $3000 and the time to install brakes that will never work on my car.
Thank you

Can you do me a favor and measure from the face of the rotor to the very end of the caliper? That way I would see if it will clear my wheels. By the way what brake kit do you have?

That would be great! but don't worry about it, if it's to much trouble. I'm wondering how wide the caliper is. from the rotor face.
Thanks again

Thank you for checking that for me. I just did mine and from the front rotor face to the back of my spokes I have 2.25" I'm .5" short. I can't add spacers because then I will start hitting my fenders again. I almost creased my front left frender when I turned into the mall parking lot. This was before I had the front hubs shaved 10mm
Thank you for your help. I wonder if Stoptechs are more narrow than Brembo's
