Default BBK fitment question (with Volk SF-Winnings)

I am running on 19x9.5 +19 fronts and 19x10.5 +17 rears, Volk-Racing SF-Winnings. I was told that with this setup, I wouldn't be able to put in BBK in the front because of interference issues.

I'm thinking of Brembos, StopTech, or Endless BBKs both in the front and back.

I'm about to replace my rear brake pads (it's about time due to normal wear and tear) and decided that I should consider a BBK.

The mechanic at Precision Z (Pete) said that it shouldn't be a problem and it looks like there's plenty of room. I trust and respect the guys at Precision Z a lot since they do really good work and know their stuff, but I just want to get some opinions here in the community. What do you guys think?

that simply may or may not be true

you cannot compare 2 different types of wheels, and 2 different types of brakes..they really have nothing in common

to the OP, your best bet of something fitting will be a Stoptech kit as they tend to have the shallowest mounting requirements vs Brembo and Endless. Each manufacturer also has templates offered on their websites which you can print out and measure caliper clearance for yourself

Thanks Z1... I'll go ahead and do that. Didn't know they have templates for customers to print out. Nice.

What color are you getting? Gunmetal would look sweet on yours.

Went to Stop Tech's website, but still can't figure out which template to use.

I have the same exact wheels with the same exact offset and I know for a fact that they will fit on factory brembo brakes not sure on other bbk. the front wheels have the clearance of the thickness of a credit pretty close i would say.
