    any one else had to do this

    i have just fitted brembos to my gt off a coupe 20vt and got the conversion bracket but it seems that wheel spacers are needed to fit my coupe 20vt wheels does this sound right ?

    I know you need spacers for some wheels as i have them on mine. But i didn't think you needed them for coupe wheels?
    Are they catching on the caliper?

    All I needed was the bracket to hold the brembo to the hub and that's it I didn't need no spacers to fit my 20v wheels

    Sounds like cheap half arsed brackets then, that only space the caliper and not its offset.

    If the calipers fit over the disc properly they should not catch a 20vt alloy?

    Assuming the caliper is on the correct disc properly the bracket should be fine but there shouldn't be any fouling with the alloy.

    Are the rubbing on both sides?

    Are they rubbing on the back of the spokes?

    You could have a buckle in the centre of the alloy?
