Will Stoptech BBK clear 02+ wheels front and back?
- Thread starter louie
- Start date
I doubt it seriously especially on the fronts, even with my 15mm spacers but I am about to test it with their template.
Here are the pics. The front will clear with at least 15mm. The rears need at least 5mm to be safe. As you may notice, I let the cardboard hang 1mm from the caliper template edge and the hub is cut as close as possible to the template.
The pics include with and without my 15mm H&R hubcentric spacers. Without them, the template twist as it touches the back of the spokes, but the pics don't capture the twist angle that well especially for the front without the spacer.
The question now is testing this on the C28N high pad - perhaps someone knows the relationship between 02+ with 15mm vs C28N high pad without spacers.

I printed the same thing out last night to measure against my new wheels and noticed my copy was approx 1.5-2.0 mm smaller than the diagram measurements. I'm not sure if it's variation from printer to printer. Anyone else come across this?
Under printer options, you should change the scale until the printer's output matches the check scale on the diagram. 102% is what I use on our printer here.

Excellent point and observation
I did not focus on this. I measured my template and then a new print out. The horizontal measurements are within 1mm of what the number show they should be; some are dead on some are off! But the vertical measurements are way off, something like 4-5mm - this even after I printed it at 105%!!
So, even at being 4-5mm short on the vertical axis, this should give more "assurance" that the caliper will clear the 02+ with 15mm spacers with more margin as it will be pushed further up - I assume.

Thanks, I'll try that. I totally forgot to check the vertical axis measurements, although it wouldn't surprise me if they were off too.
Per post #5 above, re the fit of the Stoptech with 02+ OEM wheels, please see this post which I should have posted on this thread.

Any other BBK that will clear 02 wheels?
With spacers, the Brembo "Indy" caliper fits the front. I know this first-hand. They look like they will also fit the rears, again, with spacers.

Edit: oh and by the way - most of the pics SOS has on their site of the StopTechs are on a car with '02+ wheels.
