Default Focus Rs brembos, will they fit . . .

Anyone fitted them to their mk4 escorts?

Will they fit my mk2 Orion?

Will I just need a bracket making up to fit the caliper?

Will my wheels sit further out with this set up?

Ideally I wouldn't wanna fit spacers.

you could get them to fit if you made an adaptor/bracket.
does depend on wheel size though, IIRC they need to be 16" minimum.

You can fit them but need adapter brackets.You need minimum of 17 inch alloys.If they are compomotive mo,s they go straight on.If they are anything else you will need to use spacers and longer wheel bolts.
Some pics of when i did mine.









Doesn,t stick out too far.

I've got a set of Kahn's like the ones above, 7x17 et35, anyone guess if they would fit? I thought it came down to spoke design? Mine look awfully tight for space

My wheels were KAHN RVR,S.The only wheel that will fit over these brembos with no spacers are COMPOMOTIVE MO,S.Any other wheel will require spacers as the spokes touch the caliper.Didn,t think you could get 16,s over the brembo,s without a lot of hassle.
Disc size is standard FOCUS RS.
