Brake Clearance Information

In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.

Due to the nature of the W212's front axle grease cap, a 5mm spacer is required if you want to run the APEX center cap.

Aggressive fitments focused on appearance and concavity

VS-5RS 20x9" ET20* - 245/35-20 F. // 20x10" ET33* - 275/30-20 R. Car has -2.5F & -2R lowered on KW HAS

*5mm spacers front and rear. Front required to keep center cap in place due to front axle grease hub.

 

Ideal for the driver who wants to fill out the wheel wells with the widest possible rubber and perfectly flush offsets. Sometimes these fitments are a direct bolt-on, but often times require small spacers, negative camber, or rolled fenders for the sake of dialing in the perfect blend of function and form.

Should I Dial in Negative Camber, and How Much is Right for me? 

Whether you are a casual weekend track warrior that still enjoys your car on the street, or a hard core racer competing for a spot on the podium, negative camber is a vital part of chassis setup that has many benefits. Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations, it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity. Learn more in our blog article, The Positives of Negative Camber.
