clearance of 355/345 monobloc brembo bbk: bbs lms and oem 19s?

shadowless · Thu, Jun-10-2010, 01:23:26 AM

i thought that oem 19s would clear the bbk with no spacer but i was recently told that the rears need spacers....

and i was pretty darn sure bbs lms clear the monobloc setup with no spacers.

can someone confirm clearance of the brakes by lms and oem 19s?

i would greatly appreciate it.

thanks!

BBS LMs clear Brembo Monoblocs no problem. As far as the OEM 19 rears, I'm sure it will not be a problem. There was a guy here in so. cal who cleared brembo 8-pots in the front with OEM 19s. I'm not sure if he was running spacers. But you should be fine.

i had to use a 12mm spacer with my csl rep 19x8.5 +44 front to clear the 8-pot brembo. I think you should be in the clear with the LMs but i could be wrong.

i've always thought the LMs were BBK friendly...

Eugene, I had both (LM and OEM 19"), and both cleared. However, I have the non-Monoblock rears. I heard the Monoblock rear Brembos are slightly larger.

thanks for the reply post, man.
iirc, you are running monobloc 380s in the front so that definitely answers my question about my 355s being no problem in the front.

yeah, i believe the rear monobloc calipers require a little more clearance. i am hoping i don't need to run a spacer.

we will see.

I have Monoblock 355mm 6-pot in the front.

I'm on OEM 19's right now while I'm waiting for my new wheels. I can go snap a pic of the clearance on the rear if you want, but here are some old pics.

OEM 19 Front

OEM 19 Rear

Sorry, just to reconfirm.

Those BBKs cleared on these rims without any spacers?

Thanx in advance.

That's right...no spacers on the front or rear. I have Brembo Monoblock 6-piston calipers with 355mm rotors in the front and non-Monoblock 4-piston calipers with 345mm rotors in the rear.
