Can TunersNation brackets make Evo brakes bolt-on?

Quoting Garfield Wright:
A 7.5" wide wheel will not clear the calipers. I could be wrong but that's a .5" difference ~13mm.



it will as long as the offset is correct. If you look at the link I posted there is a pic of a 2G eclipse with brembos and Evo V wheels. They are the same OZ wheels that came on the 99' GS 10th anniversary. But they are 17x7.5.

they were further than page one.

"This is the EVO5 wheel on my car. It's 17 * 7.5 and off set is +38."

Just a heads-up, it was recently discovered that Evo8 front brakes are basically a direct swap on to FD RX-7s. That should mean that if a bracket were to be built for Evo brakes, it may also work with the FD (and FC Turbo-II) 4-pot front brakes. While they aren't as big as the Evo pieces, they are very inexpensive on the used market. I picked up a set of the front calipers for under $100 a while back as a spare.
