Vehicle specifications can vary, so please confirm your exact model and existing brake setup before ordering if you are unsure.
⚠ Wheel Clearance – Please Check Before Ordering
18" wheels or larger are typically required.
Some 17" wheels may provide sufficient clearance, but wheel diameter alone does not guarantee fitment. Internal spoke profile, offset and wheel design all affect caliper clearance.
This conversion commonly requires approximately 20–25mm of wheel spacing, depending on the wheel design and offset.
Wheel clearance must be checked before ordering or installation.
If you're unsure, contact SF-Tuning with your wheel specification and we can help you determine the most suitable setup.
