Help with upgrading 17 Base GT brakes for Brembos

[Scottbeeler]

Hi,

I have a 2017 GT with the black accent rims (pretty sure they are 19"-8.5") I'm looking to upgrade to brembos on. Obviously my question is will they have the proper clearance and no interference. I found a thread stating the 16 Black accent rims fit with no problems but it appears the design did change alittle from 16 to 17. If I have to run spacers what size would you reccomend and would I need spacers all the way around? I have very little experience in the spacer world sorry lol. Thanks for taking the time to read and all help is appreciated!

The 2017 Accent rims are the same as the 2015 LE front wheels.

Yeah I just looked that up, definitely looks like the le came equipped with the 6 piston brembos as well.

Pardon my ignorance, and my google skills are lacking. Does LE stand for "limited edition". Curious what rear wheels come on the LE. I've been looking for wider versions of the black accent wheels.

Edit. Nevermind I just see that yes the 2017 black accent wheels are different from the 2016

Yeah the LE look similar not sure if it's exact same dimensions. I bought some 6 pistons I'm hoping everything works!

They're a little narrower than the LE but have a wider offset. You'll be ok.

The 2015 LE rear rim is 19x9.5".
