After Market Big Brake Kits

I want a more aggressive brake/rotor look (and performance ofcourse) and was wondering if anyone has insight / experience regarding how much bigger the calipers are regarding clearing the wheel than the stock sport calipers? For instance if I were to go with a Vossen 20 inch VS85 with a big brake kit would the calipers clear like the stock sport calipers would, without spacers, etc.?
Sorry for such an open ended question but looking for insight. Thx

Cant really be answered. It depends entirely on what brakes you get, how big the calipers are, how big the rotors are, what rims you get, the rim offsets... ect.

Yes everything can fit without spacers depending if you do it right. But it all depends on what you get.

Stoptech has a template you can download for the applications they offer. You can use it to test fitment. With that said, I have found that the stock Akebono calipers are about as big as they come. In general, you should be fine in most cases.
