Sv6 brake upgrade with staggered rear wheels??

Hi all,

Im looking into doing a brake upgrade on my vf sv6 but the issue I've got is that my rear wheels are like 5mm away from hitting the standard brakes as ive got staggered rear wheels.

Thanks in Advance.

Do you mean there is 5mm clearance in diameter (outer edge of calliper to rim barrel) or you only have 5mm clearance from the calliper face to the inside of the rim centre?

It's from the face of the caliper to the inside of the rim. I'll try get a photo of it

You probably need larger diameter wheels. What size are your current wheels - 18", 19", 20" ???

20"

That should be more than large enough for the Brembos.

Even though the standard brakes are nearly hitting the inside of the rim?

Plenty of stagger fit rears are not compatible with big brakes. I'd wager that your wheels won't fit with the Brembos.

Yeah didn't think they would. Probably best to go to a shop and see what they say. Cheers for the help fellas
