Please help!!
I have a brand new set of 17" diamond cut 7's that I'm planning to fit to my 3dr, but can anyone tell me for sure what the biggest brake set up is, that I can fit behind them. Also what sort of difference do ap/brembo 4 pots give over standard 3dr 4 pots. Any pics of brakes behind diamond cuts much appreciated too!! Thanks

i dont think you can get many big brakes behind rs7s, well on a cossie, i might be mistaken tho

I know soft lines are a no go but didn't know if original diamond cuts were any different! I don't want to get them out of box and fit tyres if I'm not going to keep them.

I have Hi-Spec 285mm behind my softlines, bought the car with the conversion already on it, but the previous owner said it needed spacers to get the caliper to fit behind the wheel.

Yeah I know standards are woolly to say the least but just didn't know how difference they made. Cheers

I know it's not ya common choice but I do love them and hate comps but do love the wheels that used to be on ELE, were they Hocks does any body know.

Mine are the billet four pots I believe, and yes they were TSW Hockenheims on ELE 17" front and 18" rear iirc, though Im sure someone can correct me if im wrong.

Thanks for replies, still not sure what to do but definitely want to stick with 17" so will either suck it and see or there'll be a brand new set of diamand cut RS7's for sale soon.May be on the look out for a set of mint Hocks aswell.

That's great. Thanks for the pic as lots of different opinions on it, but I can see it for myself there. Will contact Reyland. That does look nice
