Brembo's and R-90's

Anyone running a Brembo BBK with R-90 rims? Are spacers required and if so how thick? Lastly, where would you recommend to buy spacers and of what material?

Thanks, T. J.

I doubt it will fit, but I could not say for sure. My S-lites took 20 mil spacers.

H&R makes a good spacer. Trax is the model

TRAK+ Wheel Spacers:

Kit DR 15mm 3024562 $ 95.00
Kit DR 20mm 4024562 $ 99.95
Kit DRA 25mm 5024562 $ 149.95

Will require 10mm per wheel, 10mm are hard to come by since most only carry 5mm, 15mm, 20mm and so on, so buy 2 10mm spacer kits from Turner each kit has 2 5mm spacers from H&R, that is what I have been using for the past 3 years

If you can get away with 8mm, there is option. Mini-Madness (George) sells 8mm, in addition to the 15 and 5. You should have a 2-3mm gap between the wheel spoke and the caliper, at a minimum. Less than that can cause problems as the wheels deflect under load.
