Default Do any upgraded calipers clear CCW505a's?

I've got 19" CCW 505a's on the front of my car. Are there any 4 piston or 6 piston calipers out there that will clear without spacers?

Try looking at SSBC. Here is a link.

Might also try Wilwood. I know they sell some of their 4 and 6 piston calipers in a "thinner" size to fit some rims. Not sure if they will work for your situation though.

CCW 505a's are tight on stock calipers, can't see them fitting any aftermarket ones...One of the reasons I'm looking to buy some new wheels...

You can always "shave" the rears on the stocks (which I still want to do) - TOQUE??

I like Toque have the Shaved rear Calipers so I could Fit the Baer 14inch Eradispeed + 2 Rear Rotors, it Uses the Stock Calipers Though. There is also a EradiSpeed 13.35 + 2 Front Rotor Upgrade. I will have this installed in a week. Toque has it. I don't think you need to shave anything to fit the Front Kit. I too Would like a Big Brake Kit like for my 505's.

Here is a Pic of my Rear with the Baer Eradispeed +2 14 rears.

Not sure about the CCW's, but I run an 18/19 C6 QX1 wheel with the Wilwood 6/4 and they clear. I would assume a 19 front will clear, but mine clear barely, so you never know until you see it first hand to know for sure. Wheel spoke design/dimensions can still prevent caliper clearance no matter the bigger wheel size.

Correct. I did not have to shave anything to install the Baer 13.35" 2 piece rotor on my front 19" CCW.

You might want to call John at CCW to see if he knows any brake setups that might work for your wheel. He is in the business to know, and I'll bet he has some good info.
