Default Caliper clearance help.

Just about ready to pull the plug on the Brembo upgrade but not sure if my 20" SRT reps will clear them. Some appear not to. I have tons of room now with mine and just wonder if anyone with the SRT reps from Factory reproductions can compare?

were your srt reps marketed to fit the SRTs? if so then they definitely fit. A lot of reps specifically say not for use on Jeep SRT vehicles.

seems they have a ton of skus for the same wheel, just to fit other vehicles properly.

Thats the problem, OEM Replicas is what I have and they do say not for brembo/big brake vehicles. But there is tons of clearance. Think I'm going to grab a caliper and check.

Wheel and tires may be for sale..

I'm confused.
You said, "Just about ready to pull the plug on the Brembo upgrade . . . " which to me means you are abandoning the idea of adding the Brembos.
Then you say, " . . . but not sure if my 20" SRT reps will clear them." which to me implies you are planning to implement the upgrade but are concerned about the fitment.
I was just wondering which it is because I'm jealous and have to settle for faux Brembos :-( by using red caliper covers. I hope you can go through with the upgrade, its gonna be a great look.

Yes they are 20 x9" and the 34.5 offset.

But this is what worries me.

If they wont fit under my rims I'm not in a position to buy new ones again. may grab one front caliper locally and see if it fits but the return fees are a issue.

Well I looked over the OE wheels website and everysinge wheel for Dodge/Jeep have the same disclaimer
"Will NOT fit SRT vehicles or vehicles with larger brake calipers like Brembo."

I emailed them and will call them tomorrow. It just doesn't make sense if they are copies of the original SRT wheel Even the new SRT spyder wheels say wont fit SRT.
