| The offset of your rim will be about 6mm out--if you have aluminum calipers. There is a 6mm spacer provided for use by those with aluminum calipers. Those calipers are thicker and wider than the later iron calipers. People with iron calipers should not need the thin spacers. (the spacers do not require long studs, in any case). Now, the caliper offset? Yes, it's different, since a larger rotor needs to tuck inwards a bit in order to fit that rim. The caliper offset is not a issue to handling. There are mounting brackets included-- like any aftermarket "large brake" kit. In most all cases the bracket requires you to move the caliper either up-- (bad for bleeding) or down-- in order to fit everything. If we were fitting them inside 18" rims, the calipers would likely look to be in the stock position. But since the goal was to fit them into stock rims and worry about any other rim later, the caliper gets rotated down and moved out slightly in order to fit that much hardware in a small 16" rim space. Kit has:
2 rotors
2 moutning bracket kits
all new bolts
Thin spacers for those with aluminum calipers and stock front rims.
