I’ve read the fourms and googled for answers but cannot seem to get 100% definite answer. When doing a upgrade to support brakes from base will stock wheels work? It seems to be 50-50 say yes and the others say 15 mm spacer’s will be needed

Picture tells the truth that you seek.

Akebonos will fit inside the stock base wheels without spacers. Picture is an Australian spec car, bone stock.
