Comparison of Rotors

Mounted Kit

So close yet so far

 

Dmn, I am jealous. Those look great.

 

I think it was Chunger who was having spacing problems with the kit and put some washers in. Did you have the same problem or did it bolt right up for you?

Oh man, is that 3rd pic showing the Volks clearing or not clearing?

 

one washer on the two bolts to center the caliper

wheels don't clear in the pic

 

Brett, I was looking at some of the pics at your homepage...

Your rims look like they have an offset of 40 or greater... looks like you'll need spacers... make sure you get all 4 to maintain your handling characteristics...

For those of you that want to see additional pics from my install:
old thread

 

Brett,
what offset is your volks?
I got AV3's and I haven't tried to install the brakes yet.
Do I need to go ahead and buy spacers first?
I think my wheels are 40 or 42 mm?

thanks for help.
later.

Ming,

This may give you a better idea... Do you have MORE OR LESS clearance than compared to the STOCK SE rims? If you have more then you will be alright... less and you'll need spacers...

Offset alone doesn't answer the clearance question.
Spoke design plays a major part. Me for example, I have 35mm offset with spokes that go outward... I STILL have about 1/2" of clearance between the caliper and spokes...

 

was off yesterday it said 44. spoke design as chunger said, is important. I was shocked yesterday becuase i wasn't expecting it. good thing we checked before switching the plumbing.

 

2mm may have meant the difference, eh? Some luck...

 

Anyone know if the 2k 17" wheels will work?

 

Brakes looks nice!! WOnder if this deal is still going?? hmmm... anyhow, this brake kit is a for sure need for the maxima. the maxima rotors are just to small to stop this big car!!! Why did my cross drilled/slott rotors crack!!!??? sux, i think ill put my new pair aside and look for a deal on the wilwood when money is avaiable.
