Default Cosworth brakes

Can you fit cosworth brakes behind a standard S2 alloy wheel?

Thanks

Dan

You can get brackets for S2 calipers with 283mm Cossie 2WD discs - try Clint at Turbosport.

we have had a right headache with this this week yes you can get them to fit however you will need nearly 15mm wheel spacers to get them to fit behind the std s2 alloys, which is a bit much really looked like an offroader and caught the arch on full lock...............................not good, need after market alloys with enough clearance as std or some 2wd alloys
