So, you bought an 8 piston kit for the front and 6 for the rear? Please tell me this can happen with wheels that aren't larger than 18's

Are you sure? On my 15' JGCSRT had 6 piston and could barely clear the 20's. The spare was a 18 and looked like the center of the rim was coming out about 4in from the outer part just to accommodate them.

Wish I could tell you they would fit under 17” but they will not. These gynormis gems are the only reason I went with 20” wheels but I have to say the ridge grapplers have exceeded my expectations.

This set up needs a minimum of 19” wheels. The front rotors with the eight piston calipers are 380mm.

They do make a kit for 17” wheels that is less than $5k. The quality is on par with what I would expect from brembo etc. no way the eight pistons would fit a 17” wheel. The six will.

Weight is aprox. 80 lbs less than stock. I will confirm soon.

I got a pair quoted and they said they would fit the stock wheels. Buttt i think asking brembo themselves would be better, there was also a sheet with the measurements for confirming the size of it all

Nice. Stopping power is the only thing this beast lacks.
