brembo GTs fittin behind Axis Hiro?

axis advertises the hiro as the wheel that was designed for big brake kits.

i continually send emails to their customer service asking if it will fit the brembo gran turismo and they have neevr responded.

anyone know for a fact that the brembo GT's fit behind the hiros??????????

wachoo talking about! thhey are ebay rims with real volk stickers!

Me personally, i wouldn't opt for a BBK it wont do much at all, hopefully he read that he will get better performance with better pads, fluid, braided lines, and maybe some slotted rotors for that cool factor..haha

Contact these guys. They can email you a PDF file which you can print and trim, and use to measure any wheel physically before you install them.

I've got the template somewhere on my laptop, but I'm not sure at the moment where it's at.

anyone else notice that i wasnt asking your opinion on whether or not i should install a bbk?

that wasnt my problem, ********


i knew saying the words big brake kit on this forum would cause such a hysteria, you cant get helpful info on this forum about bbks without the first 10 posts being how its a waste of time......

much thanks to photomonkey for actually giving me useful information! maybe i should do this such on other forums

ok, I'll bite

why do you want Brembo when RacingBrake offers a kit that clears the Enkei RPF1 wheel, which has a lot less clearance than the OE wheel. There won't be any issue, no need to check anything ...

It's a cool thing to do. That's why kids all go for the BBK.

I read through the first page and I found that there was quite a good amount of useful information. Maybe, you couldn't see them through your tears. My wife said I should try to be more sensitive. What's your secret?
