Default WHICH BRAKES FIT UNDER GRID DRIFTS

Hi all

can anyone let me know which brakes will fit under my rota grid drift 18s, et 35?
Without spacers, as I want to upgrade from standard 4 pots.

I'd expect with an 18" wheel and that offset you should clear Brembos? It's very hard to say unless someone has experience with that actual wheel as the spoke design can make a big difference. But bearing in mind the STi's you'd be looking to get your brakes from run a 17" wheel you should be fine, can someone confirm the offset of a brembo clearing newage STi rim?

Run 5mm spacers on the front of my STi with my Rota grids 18x 9.5 ET38, and they just miss my brembo's!! Tried 3mm and they still caught, but run 5mm and been good with no issues for the last 3-4 months!!!

Can some one tell me the distance in mm from the disc to the top of a brembo caliper.
Just want to know the thickness and see if they fit under my wheel.
Cheers

as they're 9.5inch you'd need spacers, the spokes near the wheel nuts would hit the caliper

EDIT: just noticed you said ET35 not 38 , although though they only came in two offsets for 5x100 ET38 being one of them other being in the 20's?
