3.3TT Square Setup Brake Caliper Clearance

[DevLF]

I'm looking at purchasing Savini di Forza Matte Black BM10 but I'm not 100% certain about caliper clearance. The size I'm purchasing is 19x9.5 +22 and I'm going squared. The wheels were featured on an R8 which is a little helpful, but they were 20" rather than 19". Is anyone aware of the actual front brake caliper dimensions and/or what wheel dimensions are needed to ensure the spokes and barrel clear?

Here's a photo of the wheel if that's any help:

Remember that the AWD cars came with the same brakes and 18" wheels.

Therefore, just about any 19" wheel will clear. Most 18" wheels will clear too.

Looks like that is a soft lip, so a 18" might not work, but the 19" almost certainly will. If you're really concerned, then get an interior contour template from the wheel manufacturer, pop off a wheel, and get to checking.

Go the to wheels offset thread, in this section. There's a spreadsheet with A LOT of info. Also, scan through thoses replies, you'll get all the info you need. 19x9.5 with +22 offset will give you lots of poke. I think the recommanded offset is +40/+45

I agree, I personally don’t like poking. 42-45 seems to be the sweet spot for a lot of wheels.

The ark 287r is 19x9.5 +22 and they don't poke. You also can't run an offset that high in the front with 9.5s

Very minimal poke if you go 35ish on 9 wide wheel in the front.

Dude, look it up. Don't fight us on it lol. There's an ENTIRE THREAD on the matter with spreadsheet and cleareance calculations...19x9 all around as been done many times and flush fitment requires +35/+40 offset. 19x9.5 will be a little more offset for flush fitment. Best advice : look it up

There : you just have to click the link now

Wheel/size/offset and tire/size/profile...can be confusing.

I've been sort of compiling and validating some combinations. Criteria: avoiding poke, trying to find ways to improve on the stock look without compromising performance too much, etc. Seems like an okay start, might be cool if we could add to it (original in Excel has formulas and all that...

Thank me later

I have which is what made me want to go with that fitment. I've been through the thread you linked. Every single SQUARE setup I've researched. A 9.5 will not clear the inside of the wheel well with an offset that high. IIRC it has issues with the springs or rubs the fender liner. Here's a link to a fitment with 19x9.5 +22. Also running eibach springs and 255/35

Squared setup any thoughts

Aftermarket Wheels Looks like mine are in just a tad in front, and flush in back:

Of course, the degree of concavity of a rim will make a difference, in terms of fitment. It's not "just" about offset.

Just a thought : If this guy, you quoted, have them on his Stinger and says it fits + have pics to prove it...why are you asking the community if it fits??

P.S: This ISN'T flush fitment. Pics shows clear poke in the back, little in the front. Just my 2 cents

I'm asking about CALIPER clearance. I did not ask about flush or poke. I'm asking if anyone knows dimensions or can tell me if these would clear the calipers. I know that the wheel size/offset will fit but that wasn't my question. It's the spoke design that I have questions about.

Spokes won't be a problem - they're way out front. It's the tire drop that might cause problems.
9.5" is really wide for the front.

Again, if you want to check, get an interior profile from the wheel manufacturer and do a fit check on your car.
