Looking at buying some comp th1 on 16 x7 for my rs turbo

Any one know if 325mm discs and brembos will fit under.

Hi dude,

I could be wrong, but i am sure 310mm is about as big as you go, as that depends on the caliper and the inner wheel profile

Thanks

Go for 8's. I Love the way the 8's sit on my Orion.

As above it'll depend on the wheels.

I've got focus rs discs and calipers under 16s comp fr had to shave a bit off the caliper but the biggest problem is the clerance between the caliper and the rear face of the wheel as the discs don't have much of a offset

I'm on 330mm 4 pots behind 16's, not comps though and unsure of the actual offset

Tried this set up on my escort cosworth. Didn't work. 17"th's minimum for 325's

Was it diameter or clearance to spoke ?

Let me know how you get on mate as i would like to do this. Failing that you can use Porsche/Seat Leon radial mounted calipers, which give you a little extra clearance.

interesting to know how you did it. I want to do it so i can get some 16" gravel/snow tyres for winter fun. Dont want to have to change brakes to swap them over. Dont mind spacers though.

ive picked em up, looks like good rim clearance, and there et 25 so ofset on hub is huge.

i think there group a fitment aswell, i think they need sleeved nuts as opposed to normal ones. but not sure, ill get a pici up

I'm on 330 AP 4 pots under 16" MO's using custom bells and brackets.

JonnyBravo

Custom bells and brackets, the calipers are not your normal AP 4 pot though, their fooking massive, 36mm discs





I would assume the 2 piece bells are because the car originally ran different uprights, that or they had 4 bells and machined one into the other as they are rather thick.

The alloys need inserts if your going to use them.
