I just ordered the 20" Foose Spank rims,and I want to know if anyone knows whether I will be able to install Brembo's with them??

 

20's should clear the Brembo's no problem. The 99-00 18's are very close. Just have the shave the Brembo lettering off to fit. The 01 18's clear with no mods.

Thanks for the info. I am going to go ahead and order them on Monday. If you don't mind me asking, how is it that you are so familiar with the Brembo's? Do you have them on your L?

Thanks,

Dave

 

Not on the L yet. Have had a lot of past experience with Brembo. I have done extensive research on them for the L. Also have talked to a few people running them on the L.

 

You actually have to shave a little more than the label off. You remove about 1/16 to 1/8 off the face and less off the corners.

Call brembo first - or your purchasing place for the brembos!

The 4 piston calipers are very wide and you have to watch what wheels you run with them. If they are flat spokes, they will not work with the brembos even if they are 30" rims. They have to bow out a bit to work.

Case in point with the mustang rims, the 99 cobras dont work with them, the 98 cobras do because of the curvature of the spokes.

 

As Matt said... height is not the problem (most 18s are tall enough)... the problem is the offset of the wheel, meaning the spokes hitting the caliper.

That Foose wheel has a "deep-dish" look... with the spokes set in a ways... so you could have a problem.

The spec is 37mm from inner edge of spoke to the rotor hat.

I'd highly recommend you get the wheels and then take some measurements.

If you want, when you get the wheels, come over to my place - I'm in Mountain View - we can test your wheels with the Brembo's on my Lightning.
