they have to have a diff offset bell that moves the disc inwards so the calipers are a direct fit instead of havin em skimmed to move the calipers out over cossie discs.

But yes micky they will fit.

The cossie wheels are 7 inch wide. What kind of discs do you use that have a different offset bell?

the cossie 2wd wheels are machined on the inside so they fit over the calipers unlike s2 wheels ,bells are separate from the disc Mike R Sells the bells and rotors that will work with that conversion,so you dont have to machine calipers and you can use s2 wheels then.

Default re discs

But my calipers fitted under after I had them machined with standard 283mm discs. That is right isnt it? Dont think the discs are fancy as they are 1 piece...
