Do 16"BBS RS rims clear VR6 brakes?

[Andy T 0]

Does anybody run these on their VR6? I need to know if 16" 7J ET33's or 8J ET24's will clear the front brake calipers.

 

I know both fit ok on my G60, but the VR6 brakes appear to sit further out from the hub, and I don't have the wheels at the moment to try them.

 

So if anyone runs these on a VR6, what rim widths & ET's do you have?

 

Cheers.

Thing is they are already ET33 which is a bit over normal for a VR6 already.

 

Anyone else?

my porsche ones do and they clear brembos but i know that the 4x100 rs's dont clear any bigger than 280mmm brakes.

Just for ppl's future reference - I measured how far VR6 front calipers stick out from the disc/hub face today with brand new discs & pads fitted, it was around 32-35mm (whereas on early 4-stud hubs the distance is only about 22-25mm, on which 16" RS's fit on okay)

 

Reckon its going to be very close, I'll have to trial fit them but maybe i'll get away with some very thin spacers.
