Ok so the big brake debate, brembos will indeed fit behind my wheels [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
So the test fit went as follows
20mm - not a chance!
30mm - minor scuffage
40mm - completley clear

Pictures show 30mm.
So going from this im gonna aim to fit 35mm spacers to sit these correctly behind the wheels. Considering these dont have sliders brake wear does not need considering.

My question is as follows. Is it possible to shave the highlighted area of the calliper 1/2mm? This is a worst case scenario if 35mm is not enough
