Most 17” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper for a 328mm or 332mm rotor kit. For a 355mm kit, a minimum 18” wheel is typically required, and for a 380mm rotor kit, a minimum 19” wheel is needed. The more critical clearance, however, is the gap between the spokes of the wheel and the face of the caliper. Do not assume that a larger-diameter wheel will automatically clear the face of the caliper.
It is very important that you verify the accuracy of the scale of the printout by matching both a width and length dimension on your vehicle. Dimensions are shown in millimeters, but one dimension in each direction is also shown in inches, and StopTech recommends adding at least 2mm of additional clearance to these dimensions. Follow the instructions carefully, to produce a fitment template, and take care to ensure that your measurements are very precise.
Wheel Spacers
Wheel spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required.
