Standard Brembos will be close. Big Reds, foget it. You'll need a bigger wheel for those.

I fit my Big Blacks over 16 in. wheels. It's the offset that matters.

<i>Some</i> 16's will not fit, but a bunch do. Off set is key. Almost all 15's will NOT fit over them however.

If you are talking about the BBS RF 'design 500'

They will not clear anything more than a G60 setup. Not due to the diameter, but due to the forging of the hub-portion of the wheel.

I was working on a project using porsche 944T calipers and A8 rotors. All was fine until I tried fitting the wheel...
