Thanks guys, it seems that there are 2 "discs" that come in +24, a big brake, and a wide lip. 50/50 chance I guess

We'll see come next week.

the person who sold them to you didn't ask what brakes you had ahead of time, or did you get them used?

Bought them bran-spankin' new man. and no there were zero questions as far as what breaks I had... If they dont fit I'll be really dissapointed, not a cheap wheel, at least to me they are pricey. Ohh well.

Why would the breaks on your car have an effect on wheels fitment. If you car has been broke badly i would worry about getting the other stuff fixed before i ordered expensive wheels.

local forum member has them on his car! looks very aggresive!
he has stock brembo and it fit over them by less then a 1 centimeter.
If your BBk has greater diameter than stock disc then probably not gonna fit. good luck

Measure the clearances just to be positive.
