Help! Brembo Big Brake Problem

Help! Brembo Big Brake Problem
So i recently purchased the new 14 in mono block 6 piston brembo system for my Turbo and the system doesn't fit under my stock hollows! Does anyone know if this system will fit under a GT2 wheel? Any bright ideas? I'd like to keep my wheels at 18in as i'll be tracking the car a lot but dont want to spend another 6k on an HRE or BBS race wheel... This really suck...
Has anyone else done a brake upgrade under the stock wheels? Which system did you go with?

Who did you buy them from? They should have told you that 19" are the safe bet with these brakes.

14" would be the 355 mm, I believe.
I am planning on running my factory wheels with mine on the track,
I was told they will work. I pray that is correct.
Please advise.

Marty, they will NOT work. I got the 355mm rotor and was also told they would fit. In fact we were probably told by the same person...You're going to have to run your Champions. Good luck.

This new kit was supposed to but doesn't, which is unfortunate as they would have had a real winner on their hands. You could try a spacer though. I've not worked at all with the new kit as a result

I know the Brembo GTR kit, which we've done a lot, has worked with OEM GT2 wheels and other 18s with that offset. Looking at your location it seems as though you are possibly up in the bay area? If that's the case I'd be happy to help see if a gt2 wheel fits. I should have my car back next week etc....

Sounds good. Depending on what time you close tomorrow i maybe able to come by. I'll be leaving Orange County around 11 so if i'm back in time then i'll definitely stop by. Thanks!
