It seems that Track/S has custom brackets for the 2NH brakes, and also has the capability to mill down the 2NH brakes.

Based on what I have read, it seems some people are able to fit 18” rims without milling the 2NH brakes, which I find hard to believe.

My question is this…

Is it possible with 2NH brakes and the bracket alone, to run either the OE 400x36 or 380x30 rotors with 18” wheels, or is milling required?

If neither of those work, the rear 2NH brakes are 380x28. Could one theoretically run those up front?

I stumbled on this thread last night, and I got hopeful about running 18” rims for the track, but milling my calipers is out of the question. Just want to know if this is possible or if I should shut down my hopes and dreams now.

In a few weeks I will upload pics of a project I am doing and of mine to clear up doubts.

Depending on the rims you are going to use, 380x36 can be mounted with 2nh calipers without milling.

2nh caliper not milled requires the custom caliper bracket and running 380mm rotors as mentioned to run 18" wheel.

2nh caliper milled: can run factory 400mm rotors. This enables the ability to run the 400mm CCB rotors on 18" wheel.

Based on this comment, it sounds to me like using the smaller 380x30 blue brake rotors with the bracket and 2NH is also not an option?

I’d really love to use OE rotors as I can get them replaced free from FCP Euro whenever they run out.

Losing free rotors for the sake of 18” wheels defeats the point a little bit.

380x30 rotors have a narrower disc face, the pad would be outside the disc, 380x36 paragon discs are needed.

Would any 380x36 disc work, or does it have to be the paragons?

I would think any should work

So….

380x36 Rotors + Custom Bracket works, next question is do we know if any of these wheels would fit?

Apex
- VS-5RS
- SM10-RS
- VS-5RE
- SM-10RE

zanchee - look585 confirmed VS-5RS fits and he has posted pics on this thread. As for the rest of the wheels on your list, that would best be answered by ApexWheels

So is it just that the bracket moves the caliper closer to the center of the hub and rotates it slightly?

I was just looking at my wheels last night and with the OE setup, 19” wheels honestly barely clear the calipers. 😅

Our 10 ET40 appears to clear the barrel side with VS-5RS and large spacers up front, and someone else did confirm an EC-7RS clears. I still haven't seen any scan of the final brake assembly from Track/S. I can't confirm wholesale clearance across our wheel lines or various sizes without that data.

My colleague who handles the scanner is away until the 15th, when he returns we will scan and I will send you the file!





PD:

Another 513M 18x10.5 ET46 with 2NH and custom 380x36 discs

[medphysdave]

Interesting, did you cross drill your own blanks?

Paragon drilled them at the client's request.

[medphysdave]

Did you get a weight on them compared to the regular Paragon disc?

Awesome! What size spacer did you use for the front with this setup?

For stock knuckles 25mm, with GTS ones no spacer is necessary, the car in the pics will have GTS ones.

Not using large spacers. 10mm for the fronts is all that's needed.

I'm running a set of SM-10's 18X10 et 33 square and they clear.
I also have a set of 513m's but waiting to install a set of Nitron R1's to avoid having to run large spacer up front.

What size spacers do you think you can run the 513s with when you get the R1s? I'm running a 25mm spacer up front with the 10.5" 513s on stock suspension. Nitrons will be going on this year

Not exactly sure, I’ll cross that bridge once I get there.. hopefully no more than 15 or 20

30mm minimum, with 295/30 tires.
