Hi everyone I've just brought a set of calibre vintage split rims for my 3 door. I'm running brembo 4 pots with bell and rotor set up. Are the brembos a lot thicker then standard 2wd 4 pots , any idea on size of spacer I would need 10 mm be ok ? Cheers Daryl

Yes the Brembo Calliper is bigger Daryl, think you may struggle pal, I'm sure someone had them on here over APs obviously spaced, hub centric is best Daryl

Thanks got the reply bud. I'm just hoping 10 mm is just enough lol

Your going to make them ET25 up front if you can get get away with 10mm but i'm not sure that will be enough as Pete had to space his to get them over but in the end sold them and bought Lenso rims that have a more forgiving centre so will go over big brakes



even if you get the fronts on with 10/15mm spacer you bringing the wheel out really far so scrubbing is going to be the issue, then you need to match the rear just to make them look decent so your gonna need a 20mm spacer making the rear ET15

Just had a measure and the brembos sit 25 mm proud from the face of the disc. I really hope I can get them to fit

They're not the best wheels for Sierra's as they don't offer a staggered fitment bplus they aren't friendly for big brakes, Lenso fit over big brakes and offer these sizes 8.5x17 rear ET25 and 7.5x17 front ET35 but work better when fitting coil overs

I`ve got 10mm on the front, 20mm on the rear, no scrubbing if that helps.

Are they really split rims? I thought they were one piece? Anyway they aren't good for clearance

RsS2daz

Just as I thought, bullshit split rims Why would you ever fit them to your car??

RsS2daz

Nothing wrong with them mate. Split rims are 3k for a 3 door these are 500 quid . You do the math

I don't need to do the maths mate Fake split rims are not a good thing!

RsS2daz

Plenty of people have used them . I'm happy with them let's leave it as that hey mate

You can buy used splits for a lot less that three grand!
And also the likes of Image sell there's for a lot less too.

Look like nice wheels, as as you say much cheaper than many alternatives
You don't need to spend a fortune

Did you get any further with them?

They area poor wheel even in comparison so Lenso version, fitting a 3dr wasn't on their mind when designing them

I hope you get them to fit without to much hassle though

Wheels will be here tomorrow . Fingers crossed

I like the style of these rims too. I looked for a set off bbs. Found one set in Europe and he want 2700 for the set which was way out of my wheel budget. I settled for M06s in the end, but now I need 18s to fit over my xkr brembos.

Keep us posted.
