Can you not get a hubcentric wheel spacer ?

the strut brace

i have spaced them out 17mm to clear the caliper, its too much and it would hit the arch if i hit a bump, plus i need to raise the car a bit aswell

Just make new brackects and bells , i run a 356mm x 36mm disc and the biggest 6 pot cailper you can buy and they fit behind my RL7's no problems at all and my wheels are 17"

the strut brace

yours aint 4wd though is it?

marco polo

No it's not, it still isnt a problem tho

the strut brace

fookin is, theres only about 2-3mm clearance between the disc and track rod end

2 or 3mm thats cool because i only have 1mm and thats enough

why don't you take your wheel/ brakes/hub/suspension take it to an engineering place and they will make you new brackets and bells to suit trust me they will fit easy RL7 have more room inside the wheel than a comp mo has

What off set are your RL7's ????

the strut brace

thats the prob marco, i think they are the wrong offset, they are the ones i bought off danny b if you remeber, i dont know what the offset is but i know they aint right, i have had to space em out 17mm to clear the caliper so the brackets would have to be 17mm further in which aint happening with 3mm till i hit the disc

Ah ?? i know Danny had 2 x 7.5" and 2 x 8" i wounder have you got the 2 x 7.5 on the front ???

Marco

the strut brace

oooh i dont know, would that make a big difference like??? i am getting excited , could there be a light at the end of the tunnel here i have the two tyres that were most worn on the front of the car, i thought they were 7'', i dunno why i thought that i just did, they have 205 tyres on em, wheres danny b when ya want im

marco polo

yes it would be a problem on a 4wd if they are only 7 or 7.5" you need 8" min on the front

the strut brace

why if the tyres are the same size what diffence does it make ?

TIFF

Bet mine would be ideal for you

the strut brace

as it happens.........

CozzyBrom

rapidcossie

sorry to hi jack but any idea if 355 ap six pots fit under 17X8 MO's? 40 mm offset

2wd saf.

the strut brace

i know the sizw fits mate but as it seems to be down to the offset i would guess 40mm wont fit but hey, i know jackshit
