Brakes and Rims

[Snoop_gee]

Okay so if the brakes on the s2k have been upgraded to

PROJECT MU Racing 4Pot Caliper
PROJECT MU SCR-PRO 345mm Rotor


And it just manages to squeeze 17x8.5+35

Q. does the rim design have to always be convex in terms of the spokes on the rims just to clear the brakes?
Q. Can there be use of extended wheel hubs so that rims with dish can fit?

I had to sell my BBS RG-R because they wouldn't clear my Spoon brakes. There was only 2mm between OEM caliper and the rim.
The Meisters now have atleast 2 fingers gap between caliper and wheel.
You can run less aggressive fitment, it just all comes down to spoke design.

As a general reference, check out this thread:

just run spacers if it dosen't fit :)

but yea it really depends on the rim design.

Also the Mu's are slightly bigger then spoons even the slim caliper.

But to run spacers right, it costs another $300.
$200 for a set of open ended lugs + spacer and $100+ for longer studs.

Thats why my RG's are for sale.

you can just go on nissan silvia and find a bolt on spacer they're like 80bucs 2nd hand.

You don't need open ended lug nuts unless your running extended lug nuts with slip on spacers. Bolt on ones you don't have to bother with opended ended nuts.
