I hope you guys don't mind me jumping in on this one. Test fitted (and if successful actually fit and bleed) this lot yesterday...
as
@Shoduchi had already said, I would likely need spacers on OEM fitment (my Rotors are 18" 7.5 ET51) and he wasn't wrong...
This is a shot of the top of the caliper sitting proud of the spoke. The face of the caliper is only about 3mm from fitting in the wheel, but because the 18Z maintains this outer surface so far into the middle of the wheel, you need some serious clearance nearer the center, I'd say 10mm at least. I really don't want to run spacers and don't really want to go 8s, so I'll likely be selling this setup and going the mk7 R caliper route as per
@AJP It's only got to be good for a 300bhp daily driver, so the R brakes will be fine.
Lets face it, I got caught up by the brake porn
