    Off the Brembo.com website for the Ferrari 308 GT kit (which is what I have). You should also check with FChat sponsor www.************ -- if I was doing it again, I'd get their kit instead. I *do* have their rear rotors on my QV.

    Brembo has technical drawings of everything you need if you're using Brembos. It's available on the web.
    With those your wheel manufacturer should be able to spot any potential interference issues.
    Even so, you may end up with a clearance issue that just has to be physically checked on the car. I did when I had mine made
    and it required a special chamfer machining in one spot. No biggie just not standard.

    That's just the type of stuff that can happen when you do this sort of thing.

    Understand everything going on yourself, completely. Check everything thrice. Trust no one.

    This isn't necessarily a simple task but hopefully it is. Have fun.

    Thanks . .. I try and live by this one :)

    Thanks for the info guys. I'll probably get the gdisc when time comes but wanted to see if they could make the Brbo's fit just in case. Think rumor is need bigger than 16" for Brembos?

    Thanks,

    Sean

    Nope, the Brembo kit fits under the stock 16" QV wheels just fine on mine!
