I have search the forums and seen quite a bit of talk on different options but I am still unsure as to which direction to go.

My car is a daily driver with very few track days.
I have a full BMR suspension with Joni orange struts and steeds sport springs. 662rwhp from a Paxton 2200sl and a b326 stroker from brenspeed.

Looking to stay around $1200 for brakes and was thinking of the brembo front 14" caliper upgrade. Not sure if the 15" would be worth it for me.

I have the following rims which may need wheel spacers. If I do need some which ones and size should I get.

I like the H&R spacers. I have a set of bolt on 1" spacers and 7/8" spacers that came with studs. Use them properly and you won't have an issue.

Pads and fluid will probably be more critical than 14 or 15" brakes. Get the cheaper ones and save for consumables.

you will need to find someone to confirm if spacer will even help with those wheels. the 14" brembo wont fit with those and only so far you ca push wheel out unless you like the low rider poking look.

American muscle had no idea and could not even tell me what manufacturer they use for their rims. They look damn near identical to the american racing variant which claims it will work fine with brembos.
