Hi ! I just bought a set of brembo big brake kit for my mini gp,and i just check the manual of the brembo and said it need 40mm clearance to clear the caliper ,and i want to ask if i buy a set of volk racing ce28n 17x7.5 +43 did u guys think it will clear the caliper ,because i order a set of volk like two weeks ago ,if it's not clear the caliper and i will be try to cancel my order and order a set of rims that will fit the bbk .pls help me asap .thanks a lot

I am only summising here but I would guess you might need a small spacer to clear the calipers, depending on the spoke configuration.

I am running the AP BBK which is probably a similar size to the brembo one (both 4 pot calipers) and I presently run 18" OZ Ultraleggeras (ET42) which probably has one of the largest clearances behind the spokes and have a 5mm spacer to clear though could have got away with a 3mm one.

Stock Mini wheels would require between 15 - 20 mm spacers to clear.

Hope this helps.
