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?

Im hoping my et 35 wont need spacers as they stick out the arch loads already.

i have noticed

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?
