Default What wheels to clear 330mm brakes for 3dr Cossie?

As I have bought some uprated front brakes I can no longer fit the std cossie wheels () so will have need 17s that have adequate clearance for big brakes.

What options are out there?

If i can help it i dont want MOs as every tom dick and harry has them

I like the look of the CXNs but dont think they fit big brakes and are bit pricey for a track car

oh Pete - now you have just done it

they are fooking too much tho but have always liked them and by far the best wheel for a 3dr.

think i need to find a cheaper set of wheels to use until i can save the money for CXNs

Agree mate, trouble is as you've said, if you're tracking it etc then a 2k rim is probably not wise, you need 2 sets mate...

Yep, agree there, cracking looking rim for great money...

lenso eagle's are lovely - but can someone confirm if the brakes will fit?

Pete - yes i need two sets - one fro track and one for posing

I had Lenso DTMs on my moonstone 3dr cossie when i first bought it



pic above is from google - when i had them on my car you could just get std cossie brakes behind with 2wd 4pots.

lenso eagle have et35 for the front you'll need spacers about,0,5cm- 1,5cm,for the rear i think fit as it is,without spacers.
for sure ask this member : rsmark86,maybe knows.....

Pete - i know - CXNs are the BOLLOCKS best wheel out there but i just cannot justify 2k for wheels especially as the car needs painting first which will take that whole 2k budget

Mark - got any pics of the image splits.

Has anyone got pics of the CXNs with big brakes behind them? What is the biggest you can get under there?

Same for me. Car stops very well with the drilled discs I have on. Don't actually know of the 330 ones will fit behind the BBS's
