So if there is 7mm clearance with 355 discs then 362 discs will fit easily! And that's without modding the caliper which I sometimes do

Looks awesome. Same wheel, brake caliper/ disc size and tyre size set up that I run on my Evo most of the time.

Looks the bollocks

Good work by Martin / Mike and yourself with the wise choices
