Smallest wheel size that fits Brembo 6 pots

uweric5985 · 09-27-2011, 03:50 AM

I'm currently running on 19" wheels,

Front: 225/35/19
Rear: 255/30/19

Performance and gas mileage are poor so I decide to go with smaller wheels which can fit Brembo 6 pot caliper with 355mm disc

Since I don't want to sacrifice too much on the look, will 18" be a nice choice?
Will performance and gas mileage improve by only 1 inch of different?

Any possible 17" wheel that will fit the brake caliper and disc?

Thanks

17" is a no go, some 18" might fit.
But I don't really see the mileage improving very much going down to 18".

my rims are 19 step lip so really i have 18s with stop tech and no problem here. however i dont see how you will fit a 17inch wheel because mine are a tight fit

as for performance my rims weigh less then my OEMs did so that has improved

I agree. There will not be much mileage improvement with a pound or so off.

If you decide to go 18's, I would make sure to get the caliper template to test fit the wheel before purchasing to ensure clearance.
