Default Will StopTech brakes clear this setup?

hi guys...

Just curious if anyone would know if the Stop Tech big brake calipers will clear my 19" Euroline LS with +45 offset (that's what it shows on the sticker inside the rim).

Thanks.

Thanks Will...I am pretty sure they are Normal Disk, but I will double check. Looks like I'm out of luck. I probably have to consider Rotora's if they will fit and if Steve has good feedback on it after the initial break-in period.

I am not sure if Rotora will clear any better. The StopTechs are supposed to clear stock 17s if they are not lowered more than 1". If more, you may need small spacers. I think even in the Rotora thread there is mention of the potential need for spacers. I think Steve has the template to see if the Rotoras will fit and the StopTech website has the templates for their brakes.

Remember to grab the template for the StopTech 332 kit if you are comparing the two. If you want to check just for fun, grab the 355 template too. But to compare size/price of similar products (StopTech vs Rotora), it is the 332 that you want.

It would clear mine with 5mm spacer.

Dont be so sure that you need a high disk wheel for the StopTechs to clear. I have the 14" kit, and they will clear my new wheels that are being made at the moment that will be normal disk wheels(at least they better fit). I have a high disk wheel now and I have probably an inch of room between the inside of the spikes and the caliper, although my wheels are a different offset up than yours. The best way to tell if download the Stoptech template from their webstie and see if it fits.
