Out of interest would the spare wheel fit over the 300mm rear brake kit?

Tarox has a 320mm (or was it 318?) conversion kit as well.
I have used it on various cars and was happy with that!

think 300 mm on standard calipers are fine,any more and you will just need a bigger calipler bracket.

don't think you need to go more than 300's if you only have 330mm fronts.

Also, regarding the spare wheel, you MUST not fit this to a car running 18s, as the rolling radius is completely different (desined for the standard wheels) and it will muller the diff trying to turn at different speeds for any kind of distance.

I think you should add "alive" to the end of that - but don't worry, I don't mind a bit of necrophilia .
