Default Will 6 pot 310mm Tarox brakes fit under standard wheels?

As above, not Monte wheels but normal 5 spoke ones?

From what I've heard they should do. Was considering these myself until I bought the Cromodoras.

With the Compbrake 16" set they supply 15mm wheelspacers, without these spacers this set won't fit. I'm quite sure you will need these spacers with this Tarox set too.

Can you tell me what type Tarox calipers you mean? They sell different 6-pot setups.

Regards,

Richie, I really want these however I am worried about them fitting behind the standard wheels as I absolutely don't want to use spacers
Do you have access to an Escos alloy to see if they do indeed fit

They won't fit standard 16" wheels without spacers. Normally 16" kits also use 305mm rotors. 310mm will be a very tight fit or won't fit at all.

They WILL fit Mat Spoke to James and they have a special 22mm wide disc He got them off an Escos on standard wheels with no spacers.

Matt,
My old red one had 6 pot Tarrox with i think ( dont quote me ) 308mm discs?

It ran std wheels fine, just a few MM spacer was needed.


I'll see if the missus has any pics??


PS My Wheel weights are inside and outside on the AP 6 pots with 355's!!!
