Anyone know what kind of rotors I can fit with 19x8.5 inch wheels

[accordman1]

I have 19's and the wheels have a pretty big lip. Right now the stock caliper is so close to the spoke. I heard I cannot fit a bbk with my wheels. I want to upgrade to bigger rotors and probably get new calipers since my accident I am not taking chances and want to have a lot better stopping power. If anyone knows anything I can do to make it fit and have better stopping power let me know. Thanks

Upgrade the driver, not the car.

wheel spacers, better pads.

Well if you were in my situation when the accident occurred I do not think you could have avoided it either. I have pretty decent pads.

What's your brand/disk type/offset on your 19x8.5s? Worst case scenario would be adding spacers to fit a big brake kit on...no big deal.

19's with stock breaks suclk... i had 18's on my 02 EX 4cyl and it sucked...

Your wheels are 19x8 and to fit a BBK you'll need a big spacer which I would not do.

Why would he need a big spacer? Unless he has an offset in the 50s he shouldn't need more than a 10mm spacer at the most for any BBK.

What size are your wheels then dre? How did you fit a bbk is it because the lip on mine are bigger. There has to be a solution to fit a bbk for my car with my wheels. What kind of spacer would I need. If anyone knows please let me know.

Lip size shouldn't make a difference, it has to do with width/offset/spoke design.

Lots of big brake companies have readily available templates if you ask them about it. Print one out, and fit it on your car to see if they'll fit or not. If they don't, see how many millimeters of room you need (including the necessary spacing between the big brake caliper & spoke) and that's the spacer size you'll need.

LOL I've owned this type of wheel which are Axis 19x8's with a 45mm offset Any how these will not clear a BBK maybe even with a 10-15mm spacer to tell you the truth Nittanys gave up in fact he even bought a 15mm spacer it's not worth it. Your right about it being width/offset/spoke design but with a wheel that has like a 2.5-3 inch lip on our cars lip will matter because the only way we can fit a wheel with a big lip like his is if we sacrifice space.


My current wheels are 19x8 with a 49offset and my bbk almost clear the wheels it's off by 1 or 2mm I was pissed lol so I've used a 5mm spacer. Trust me don't waste your time I've owned 9 sets of wheels and have tired and tested many setups it won't work get your self a nice 2 or 3pc wheel and worry about bigger brakes after if you really need them.


What a old pic haha, any how the stock caliper is so damn close on these type of Axis wheels. I'm sure accordman1 will understand next time he looks at his wheels and caliper. If you do run a 15mm spacer it might still not fit for sure and if it does it will cause you to rub like a motha which I'm sure your doing in the rear right now right?
