Brake Calliper Clearance For New Wheels

[braderz]

Hi guys,

Just in the process of ordering some new wheels and the company were concerned that the wheels might not clear the callipers.

The wheels in question are quantum44 S1's and are 19" being put onto a W212 E63. They have gave me attached diagram to fill out and wondering if anyone has done this before?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I think that I would avoid buying wheels from a company that could not guarantee they were designed to fit my particular car.
It's for them to know the relevant dimensions of each car that they intend the wheels to be fitted to - rather than giving you the responsibility of taking some (difficult to get) measurements.
What happens if you measure it wrong, they supply the wheels and they then get damaged or they damage your calipers?
Will they pay to replace the broken bits?
Cheers
Steve

It's not an uncommon problem. - What's the ET on your wheels at the moment?

I bought Mercedes winter wheels from a C-Class to find that they foul the brakes on my CLK. - Spacers were my solution.
