Would you say that stock Si rims would fit over Brembos, 17x7 45 offset?

Some shots on my favorite bridge...

DaveSi677

wow she looks great!

did you just do a detail on her?

tfbdesigns

Thanks! Yeah I washer her the day before. The wax job is a few months old, got lucky with the lighting here.

I joined this forum since I'm in the market for a FA5 and this thread is making me even more impatient to find the right now, very clean stuff folks.

A quick detail spray can really do miracles lol

Found out today that stock 2010 Si wheels won't fit over Brembo calipers without a 1.5" spacer. I still have to see about the S2000 rotors, whether or not they will be shallow enough to allow clearance for the calipers to sit properly.

Photos when I can load them.

you will still need a spacer with the s2k rotors.. the face on the stock wheels isn't concave enough to fit the caliper..

97emsedan

Yes, I get that. I just hope the S2K rotors are shallower.

97emsedan

I have four pictures of the mock up fitting of the Brembo callipers.


The hub to caliper gap is evident. I will need at least a one inch thick spacer for the wheels to clear the callipers.

Will the S2K rotors fit in here?

97emsedan

Or would I apply the spacer and then the rotor? I am experimenting with all of this. I just hope it works.

The last of the four pictures.

And this.

The dust shield was bent to clear the calliper, it fits. If the S2K rotor hat is the same depth as the Si one then I will get the 1.25" spacers with the studs included. That should be all that is required.
My friend who helped me here asked if the Si master cylinder will have sufficient volume to allow the brakes to bite properly. Anyone have a guess?

the rotor doesn't matter.. the s2k will fit without any spacers behind the rotor.. the tl-s rotors need spacers behind the rotor.. either setup will still need spacers for the wheels..

you can use the stock mc but the pedal will feel softer.. on my setup, im using the tl-s mc

Thank you very much for the info, most helpful!!

heres my setup

What size spacers are those? I wish to keep using my stock Si rims and my HFP 17" option rims as well. They are both +45 offset. I figured that a 1.5" spacer with integral studs that I bolt up to the hubs over the OE studs will give me the proper clearance for the callipers.
I am just worried that the S2000 rotors will not fit properly.

I will add 1.25" spacers to my rear axles as well to make the stance more even and to maintain esthetics.

im using s2k rotors.. I have no spacers on.. the wheels are concave enough and the specs are 17x9 +15.. with my racing harts, 17x8 around +35, I use a 25mm spacer to clear the calipers..

97emsedan

Ok. Cool. So the S2K rotors will fit properly over 25mm spacers. That might just give me the clearance for my Si and my HFP rims. They are 17x7, +45 offset.

I am trying to not go out and buy a larger wheel because I have two sets of rims that I alternate between summer and winter here. They are both OE sized and both are Honda branded Enkei wheels.

Joon Joon is my favorite GG FA5 period /thread!

Trying to source out some brembos too now!
