Cts-v rotors clearing MMR 228s?

[nty1234]

Hello everyone, thinking about doing the Cts-v 6 pot front brake upgrades in the near future and already purchased a set of MMR 228s. Bought the rims before I thought about doing the conversion and was wondering if the 6 pistons would clear the rims? obviously for track use I would not use these rims but on the street I would. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy new year!

I have the FS01s with the CTS-V 6 pots in 19x10. No problems with clearance. I have the 1LE offsets (+23mm in front), which will affect clearance.

Ok good to hear. Just a side note, for street driving how is the brake noise? and I have read on another thread about the brake pulsation on the street. Any input on these two questions?

No issues with noise at all, but I have the 2 piece rotors. No pulsation - very smooth. I used a Motive pressure bleeder at about 5 psi (pretty low) to bleed them after install. The 1-piece rotors I hear may have a "clicking" noise. See DropSpeed's build thread. I used the stock performance pads from his build list.

I had pulsation before the brake upgrade, which I thought was either warped rotors or worn wheel bearings. I checked the bearings and the right front was worn out (the rotating action had clicking noises), so I replaced both with ZL1 spec bearing hubs. Not sure if the old rotors were warped or not.

Awesome, I will check out his build thread. Thanks a lot man, Happy New Years!
