Default 2wd Front brake clearing for wheels

Hi!

3 door cosworth, standard brakes , 4 pot caliper

Can anyone measure the distance from the caliper outer edge to the mounting surface on the brake disc where you mount the wheel?

Need to know if this new wheel spoke will fit without hitting the brake caliper

If the new wheels are the same size and the offset is the same as what is currently fitted they should clear the calipers ok. Can you not do a trial fit on one to check?

My car is a 2wd Saff which has already had HI-Spec big brakes fitted so no help to you, I am sure if you post up your question to 3 door Cosworth owners one of them will be able to give you the measurements you need.
