Test fitted my front Brembos. Turns out my wheels are at least 15mm too close. Now I'm stuck deciding whether to sell my complete ki, keel my wheels and replace my brakes with stock stuff or did new wheels stat.

I'm like to keep the wheels, but they're already a 40et. The spacers I would need to run would either be a 15mm or a 20mm, pushing the offset of the front wheels out to 20et. I like having functioning wheel bearings. Plus, I'd probably end up rubbing like a ****.

Goal is to sell the wheels, get new wheels, and keep the Brembos.

those are the diff inserts right? if you shift hard you'll notice that it'll feel more direct. and the clunk from the diff banging around will go away too. i have them too.

How do you like the sound? I am thinking about getting this done as well, toying with the idea of having it plumbed back into the DP.
