hi all came accross a set of 8 by 18" rondells for my escos which im gonna reburb and paint white as ive never seen white rondells on a red escos... got one last nite to see if they would clear the brakes which are AP 6 pots with a 356mm disk, its really really tight in there and the wheel just barely touches the calliper, what size of spacer do you think would i need to get ?? and what ET are the rondells ??

 

Rondells are et18.

i wouldnt have thought the wheels should touch the caliper, a fair few people run that brake setup with those wheels.

but if you only need to give a slight bit of an increase in clearance then just go for the slimest spacer thats available, no point adding any more than is needed

 

I thought they were 8.5x18 ??

 

Actually you will be correct Mark, i didnt even pick up on that

Now where did i put that anorak

 

 

I have the same brake set up as you and 1 of my rondells just slightly touched the caliper too, the other 3 were close but didn't touch

try another wheel & see if its the same

If you need some spacers let me know, I can sort you some 1mm spacers

 

sorry guys my bad they are 8.5 by 18"
