Hi guys and girls, I am thinking abou putting a Brembo Gran tourismo big brake kit on my Cooper S. The problem is I am not sure of the thickness of the spacers! I am running on the BBS LM 17x7.5 wider rim and the offset is 40. Is anyone here running with the the BBS LM and Brembo big brake kit? What is the thickness of the spacer? I would appreciate your help.

Thanks.

You should be able to get a template that you can use when taking your wheel off.

I worked out I needed a 7mm space, so bought a 9mm spacer to be sure. ended up having a 8mm spacer custom made (although 7mm would of been fine)
