Default brembo

Front set of brembo evo calipers, using mk1 focus rs discs on a 2wd saph, will these calipers fit behind a 17" wheel, ive had to use 5mm spacers on the front of my car to get the momo's to clear the standard 2wd calipers so does anyone know how much wider the brembos are ?

Cheers tabs, i know you need brackets to bolt them on which with these is just a flat piece of ally/steel with 2 wider holes for the calipers and 2 inner holes for the hub mounting points, i just wondered how much wider the calipers are from say outer disc face to edge of caliper ? also is there any difference in the evo caliper from say 6 7 8 9 evo's.

dont spose you could go and poke a tape measure through your wheel and measure off the disc face to the widest part of the caliper so i know if the wheel will clear the caliper

evo callipers are a lot bigger than the frs ones.

hence you can mount them in the centre, not on the piss like the frs ones once you have cut a bit out the middle.
