Right people I know these calipers a bit of a tight squeeze under 15inch puma wheels.I know people trim the calipers down with a grinder.So which parts of the caliper need to be trimmed down so they dont catch the inside of the wheels.
I know some people might think this is dodgey but its only a bit that needs to be trimmed off.
So using the pic can someone point out which parts of the caliper need to be trimmed/grinded.
The two raised areas on the top and sides need cutting off.
And the top front needs grinding down.
The edges of the carrier need grinding down aswell.
3 mm wheel spacers will be needed.
Have a look on zsoc plenty of info and pics on there about it

have a game of caliper grinding roulette (just invented it in my head). see how much you dare grind away before knacking the caliper. sorry for being an unhelpful nob!
If u haven't got a jig then take a little off at a time and test fit
It's approx 2 mm on the top front and tapers back
The two indents will nearly disappear
glenn I left this thread in general so you got replies first but after all its a puma themed thread so it had to go here, plus you need to get the puma area buzzin again
if you have a spare hub mate you can stick the disc and caliper on there rather than having to hoist your motor up in the air time and again when trial fitting
don't forget you've got to open up the holes to 12mm with a step drill too, a few seconds work if you have the step drill, plus it centres the hole too, don't be pikey about it with a round file
But the wheels don't mean shit, you still have to drill the hubs as one uses 10mm bolts and the other uses 12mm bolts
And without drilling they won't fit, no matter if you could get 20" rims to fit lol
Glenn, its not that hard to do in situ. Dont plumb them in if you want to clean up the callipers after, just bolt the callipers on and trial and error basically, its only a couple of mm off each front edge.
And ps the callipers will NOT fit under steel wheels! Unless you get 16" mondeo ones lol
