So I've finally put Track model Brembos on my Base and found out my Volk GT-C 19x8.5, 22mm offset doesn't clear front calipers (rears no problem). Without measuring it, I looks like I'm about 8-10 mm short. I guess the solution is spacers + longer studs? I'm looking for advice from somebody familiar with this situation and could tell me if the spacer/stud combo is the right answer, the thickness of the spacers and then some recommendations regarding the brand/vendor. Any input is greatly appreciated.

 

are you sure your gtc is 19x8.5 +22??

 

For what it's worth, I had the Stoptech 14" front brake kit (ST-40 4-piston caliper) and it fit with some extra room with my GT-C:

Front: Volk GT-C Face 1,
19x8.5J, offset +.27

 

Not completely sure, it's been a while since I have them, I'll double check that tomorrow.. Why?

from the pix your wheels look more like a rear wheels.. if so then you would need around 10-15mm spacer to clear..

 

It was front.. This is rear:

Rears fit with no problem.

 

I don't think they even make that fitment, lol!

 

what i mean was your front wheel have rear wheel fitment (offset & pad height)

 

I agree, looking at those pictures, whoever picked the fitment on these wheels made a bad choice. The rear's should have been a Face 2 and the front wheels should have had a high pad face. I just checked the fitment guide and GT-C's don't come in a 19x8.5 +22 in either Face 1 or 2.

 

Sorry, I'm confused. Do you mean the wheel I have on the front of the car was made to be the rear wheel for some car?

 

yup.. face 2 with low pad = rear wheels..

 

I've ordered a set of Volk GT-C. Am worrying they might not fit my brembo b/c they are B disk. Anyone can answe my question? They were 8.5j +40 front 8.5j +28 rear
1) do they clear factory brembo?
2) if not, what thickness of spacer should I use?

 

Cancel the order or change it. You should be looking at at minimum of 8.5J +25 Front and 9.5J +25 rear.

 

You have a s2000?
