RX7 BBK.. will a ET15 with 25mm spacer clear it?

[MR 325]

How much room is there currently between the stock caliper and the wheel spoke?

Offset doesn't decide if they clear, wheel design does honestly.

25mm spacers aint going to hurt!

WHO is this woman ????

She's a girl im 'talking' too haha. Well just got shipped out the brackets/rotors/pads now all I gotta do is sand blast the rotors and test fit em

Also
i have brock B1 16x9 et15 allaround i think it will need a 5mm spacer to run those mazda calipers

and i think that my bbs styling(LOL) 5 7x15 et41 will need a 10mm spacer because of the inner design

Do you have a e32 750i master brake cylinder ???

OO nice you have brock b1's.

No I dont have the e32 master brake cylinder. Is it needed? Or does it just make everything better?

Because with the BBK you need to push a larger area on the brakes and the pedal with oem master cylinder will not be hard , and will go deeper. with larger master cylinder you increase pedal stiffness and effort.

Hope someone will confrim that, becouse i have read the whole day about that :D

du you have brackets ?? i am just manufacturing them and some braded steel hoses

while this is true of some bbks, it is not the case with the rx7 calipers. piston area is nearly identical to the stock caliper. some people prefer the feel of a larger mc, but it's just a matter of personal preference. i find pedal effort too high with the 25mm mc.

So in conclusion 16x9 ET15 Borbet Type A even with a 25mm spacer will not be enough for this BBK. Ask me how I know. fuuuuuuuuuu. I suspect maybe a 5mm spacer on top of the 25mm will be enough.. maybe.

I also tried my ACT Ls wheels 15x7.5 Et15 with the spacer and it did not work either.
Gotta spend more moneys :(

Ian, just sell it to me ;)

I think he ground down the fluid passage a bit, but they should fit.

[IminDiegoTriick]

OKay will go to the machine shop to get it grounded out, let you know how the next test fit goes. *crosses fingers*

So I just ordered a pair of 8mm eibach spacers

I just recently had the nub on the caliper shaved off, along with the mazda emblems.

It fits much better, but still needs extra space to spin properly.

will update when it arrives next week!

From wich car have you used this
