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 excellent brake clearance while maintaining maximum concavity.
Our VS-5RX wheels will clear all factory brakes on the Explorer ST (and other trim levels) in the listed configuration on this guide. They also clear the S550 GT350 and GT500 caliper/rotor swaps, along with all Rotora and Superforged kits front and rear.
