Who is running big brakes here? I'm looking into upgrading in the near future but I want to see what everyone is running currently. My wheels are 19x8 +50, so I will definitely need a spacer to clear any big calipers. Most of the caliper templates I've tried to fit look like I will need a good deal of clearance.

If you have a BBK, please post up who you went with and your wheel specs. Thanks.

Oh and pics are hugely encouraged...

I run AP racing 4 pots behind my 18X8, et+47 Work wheels without any problems. Rotor size is a demure 330mm though. Moving up to AP 6 Pots in a couple of weeks and no clearance issues either (rotor size is the same 330mm). Even the AP racing 6 pots with 355mm rotors have no issues with clearance on 18" wheels with a +4x offset i believe... no pics at the moment... sorry. i'll post once i'm on the 6 pots. cheers.

Very good news. I'm going to try every caliper fitment bracket I can find this weekend. I just don't want to run huge spacers in the front. 8mm or smaller would be ideal. I'll see if I can find an AP racing template.

Thanks for your input.
