Ok so I'm about to spend some money on some aggressive fitting wheels. I am concerned about fitment as I have front StopTech's. I only know of one other MINI owner (who doesn't have the wheels anymore) that have made it fit but it'll be tight. I'm trying to figure out the spacing necessary. He was running Brembo's and he mentioned he thought the StopTech's had smaller calipers. Does anyone know if this is true?

I'm thinking that if I can run less of a spacer than he with the Brembo's then I should be ok. If by chance the StopTech is larger than it just won't work for me to run the wheel. I love for my car to look good but it HAS TO BE functional. It's a daily and I'm really not into the garage queen stuff.

So anyone know? Which is larger?

 

Anyone?

 

Between the 2 kits I have test fit the StopTech was slightly larger.

 

This is what I feared/presumed. Thanks Alex.

 

Stoptech caliper is 1.5mm 'wider' than Brembo.

 

the caliper might be slightly wider but they are both 4 piston calipers. so i would go with the price at that point.

 

Great! You're awesome!

I already have StopTechs. The first post described me gathering info for wheel clearance issues.
