My night for questions..............

Installed my Front Brembo Gran Turismo brake setup today (well, one side anyway). The wheel clears the caliper by 1-2mm which,on the face of it, appears to be perfect. However, I'm not so sure. I know that steel wheels flex a little, but do cast alloy? I would guess not but..........

I'm a Little worried that a little wheel flex could cause me a lot of problems with the Clearance already so close.

you shoulld be ok but you should call the manufactures tech line and speak with someone about ur setup to be 100% sure

I`m not familiar with the Brembo mounting method but a lot of calipers will actually move a bit when the brakes are applied. I`d recheck my clearances with someone STANDING on the pedal. JMO

Yea, i know what you mean. that happens with "floating" calipers. These are fixed firmly to the leg, all the movement happens within the confines of the cast caliper.

I have the stock brakes. A while back I put on a set of 18" DD bullit wheels from American Muscle. I can't believe how close the caliper is to the spokes, just a couple mm. I was really worried about it, even checked with American Muscle. But in 3 months I have had zero deflection. I guess the cast wheels are pretty stiff.
