Hi guys,
I have a VE ssv ute with staggered 20 inch wheels, 8.5inch front and 9.5 rear, both have a back space of 45, they are mcracing Simmons copies, will Brembo brakes fit behind these wheels?
Cheers for the replies

No won’t clear. I had to replace my mc racing wheels with hsv copies after doing the brembo upgrade on my ve

You need a backspace of 48.

And +57 on the rears.

It's a long time since I put brembos on my then owned VE ss ute. I used the same wheels on the front as the back. I don't recall what the offset was except that they were the same wheel. You have me there as I had assumed they were the same. Perhaps both the wheels front and back had a 57 offset. Bit late to check as I sold it about 12 years ago.

I thought they just fitted under VZ Monaro 18s when fitted to a VE? Can't remember the offset without going to the shed and peeking at my spares on the shelf, but they're not 50+. I have heard it's also to do with the spokes offset.

+57 for GMH 9.0" and HSV 9.5" rear wheels.
+48 for 8.5" wheels all round.
