Default clearance: OE brembo vs ST-40

I am considering the 355mm bbk for the front. I have non brembos, but I know from another member that brembos clear with about 2mm on the same 19's with the same offset I have.

Yes, I have printed out the template and fully intend to check this for myself before putting down the cash, but I was just wondering if anyone knew off hand if the ST-40s were wider?

If this is has already been posted, sorry.. I searched and went back many, many pages. But it seems like something that would have already been discussed here.

thx

I dont know how many people have Gram Light 57F Pros (AKA roja by rays R2-5) in 19x8.5+25 in the front. But I do know dkmesa350z does .. and he has brembos. He was nice enough to let me know he has a few mm clearance. Here's a bump for his FS thread https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tires/351161-fs-atlanta-19-ro_ja-r2-5-a.html

anyway, same wheels here.. but I think I'm going to go with Stoptech and ST40's.

hm ok as far as i could see the brembos really fit thight.....if u really printed out the template and tested it on your rim, than there shouldn´t be any problems(but i could be a thight fit).oh and don´t froget to watch out for those balancing weights (don´t know the name in english ).sometimes they´re in the calipers way.

Ya if your running a 355 kit on 17's , anything bigger will easily clear the hoop. The spokes are what you need to worry about.

just to clarify, I am asking about spoke clearance. If the ST40 is wider than OE brembos.
