Good evening, new user here.. I searched a lot of threads before I posted this FYI, so if I missed someone's thread earlier I apologize.. I have a 2020 and currently have a set of 22" Velgen VF5 wheels on it and was considering getting the Superforged BBK for it and would prefer getting the system with the integrated parking brake as I don't care for the looks of that extra caliper. Does anyone have that same combo and know they will fit without a spacer? I called Velgen and they "think" someone has done it and I messaged SF and no one has responded yet.. If anyone can confirm that the integrated version works with those wheels I'd appreciate it! Thanks..

I have the VF9’s with the integrated. Lots of room.

I can get two fingers between the rear caliper and a spoke

Sorry, lousy day

These are awesome. Much appreciated. I have 22” velgens as well and this helps.

Thanks to all of you guys for the info! I'll call Velgen and see if the VF9 is close enough to the VF5 on the inside.. And I didn't see my address on there earlier, thanks for letting me know.. I'll send some pics shortly..

I called Velgen and they said the VF5 and the VF9 have the same spacing in back so I think I'm good.. I assume you like those brakes? For the money they can't be beat.. Thanks again!

The spoke profiles are largely the same. You won’t have any clearance issues with any BBK on the market.

So far I really like the improvement in performance. I like them even better value wise compared to some of the other options out there. Quality product prepped for super easy install imo!
