AMG Brake Problems
Hi Luke.
I got 18 in Evo 5 and yesterday I tried to fit the AMG brake kit (C32 AMG brake kit) and the wheels doesn't clear the brakes. I know i can use spacers, but could anybody make some calculations to know if: 1- it's normal? 2- spacers will make the front wheels clear the brakes and 3- if spacers would work, what size?
My front wheels specs are 18X8 offset is 35mm
My car: mercedes C320 sportcoupe
Thanks a lot for helping me out, I want that brake kit to fit!
Best regards...

depends on the weather
in order for the Evo% to clear the C32 Brembo brakes you would need a 15-20 millemeter spacer which would make the effective offset of the wheel 15-20 millemeters which would push the wheels out past the fender and would definitetly cause you alot more problems ..... you are down to 2 choices
#1.) get different wheels
#2.) don't use the Brembos
