Been looking into what is required to get the JCW brake kit fitted to my MCS and looking at what options are available to me...
I have 17x7 ET54 Cosmos style 499 wheels which came with the car and I've read that these won't clear the brakes (after fitting) but as an option rather than have to get rid of them is to perhaps use spacers to clear them.
I read somewhere on the forum that the track spoke wheels (style 562) which were not designed to fit over the JCW brakes (unlike style 501) can use 15mm spacers to clear them but can't find any info on the Cosmos wheels if 15mm is enough?
If I do get the JCW brake option I will probably get a set of third party wheels to fit over the brakes and use this set as winter wheels assuming they can fit without it looking silly!
PS I also plan to lower the car either Eibachs or KW (use EDC cancellation kit) if I go all out for modifying
