After installing Movit Big Brakes do you need to run a spacer or do the stock front wheels fit just fine? If a spacer is needed, how much? Anyone then install aftermarket wheels with Movit Big Brakes that fit without the need of spacers? If you do need spacers with the aftermarket wheels what brand and style of wheels and how big of a spacer is needed?

This goes for the 322mm kit front.
Stock rims will need a 16mm spacer.
AC Schnitzer rims does not require a spacer.
BBS RC requires 4-6mm spacer.

There may be many rims that fit without a spacer.

Do you know which style of AC Schnitzer rims it was that fits? Are AC Schnitzer rims made or are they the same as Breyton?

I know that ACS Racing wheels Type III 19" works. I am also convined that they will work as 18" and also that the Light alloy wheels Type III will work in 18" as well as 19".

I dont' think they are the same as Breyton, they look a bit similar but completely similar.
