Default Cobra R Brembo Brake Kit

I am trying to decide whether or not to get this kit. I have 17x9 bullitts and my spokes won't clear them. Should I get these and get a wheel spacer? What size wheel spacer? I really don't need brakes now, so these will just sit until I get more parts for my future build or when I need new brakes. They are listed for $550 but I can get them for $500 shipped. Normally I believe they are like $1200.

it's all the way to the top of the line. I'd stop at a cobra kit but for the price, why not. Sell em for 650 in a month and buy a cobra kit and have money left.

Thanks for the heads up I just ordered a set. I would do the same if I were you its only a limited time offer. Even if you cant use it, just like red said you can resell it and make some money off it.

Yeah I went ahead and ordered one. I think they are about sold out now from what the guy told me. I will probably get a wheel spacer. I just don't know what size. I probably won't install these for alittle while. Atleast until i get my 2.6 KB and stuff. What size wheel spacer should I get for these? requires 50mm offset I believe.

I have 18s and they should fit but dont know 100% and I cant even measure since I dont have my car. Reguardless Id rather get a new set of wheels in exchange for better braking. At 1/2 off and almost the same price of regular Cobras its a steal.

Heres the info you need for clearance.

Yeah, I might get 1.25'' spacers since I want to get Prostars later. I think 1.25'' spacer and 3'' studs should clear for prostars later on. I hope
