Default Smallest wheels on Frs Brembo's
Has anyone put 16" wheels on mk1 Focus rs Brembos?
I'm trying to fit compomotive th's over the 325 disc's and it's too tight.

What do people use disc wise and wheel wise? Am I better of getting bigger wheels?Don't want 18's

This is to go on my 2wd converted Escort cosworth

Cheers Aaron

FRS discs are 324x28. Seen a few running on 17's in winter.

I tried to get my escos wheels over them on my 2wd sapph and it was just to tight by a few mm I am sure with a little bit of modding to the caliper and the right wheel they would go over though
