850, Front + Rear Bbk Options With 17In Titans, Lowered

Looking to do a BBK on my t5r. Braking can get quite scary at sometimes, so I would like to have some additional stopping power. Looking for advice from people who have either fitted a BBK to titans or a similar wheel.

 

Im going to post the info that I have researched below.

 

From my understanding if I want to fit any type of BBK in the front and clear my titans, i will need atleast 17.5mm spacers, recommended 20mm.

 

Right now, I barely fit my finger between the wheel(205/45/17) and the wheel liner / arc... This means i will most likely need to roll my front fenders, not that big of an issue as i only need 10-12mm more space to fit the 20mm spacers.

To give you an idea... almost no room unless i roll my fenders. That picture is with the coils all the way down though, i did raise them up some recently to give more clearance, etc.
 
Ok, moving onto the rear.
 
Easiest upgrade is to snag some rear brembos off the S/V70R. This is where I kind of got stuck as to if they will fit the titans... i read that they do not fit and you will most likely need 10mm+ of spacers. Does anyone have anymore information on this?
 
I will most likely put 20mm spacers in the rear as well, to keep the stance the same as it is now. The rears have a little bit more room than the front between the wheel and the arc liner but not much more, so i will most likely need to roll/cut the rear as well.

 

Im a little worried about the car looking a little strange the wheels pushed out even further than they already are. 20mm isnt a lot and maybe its just my eyes placing tricks on me because the fender liner edge is still there which is making that 20mm of space i need seem non existent.

From this photo, you can see i don't have much room to play with.
 
Looking for opinions and answers from you guys who have done all this before.
 
Thanks.
