Will check on the wheels now

Ryan......

Just measured mine......

From the face that sits on the hub flange to the face that the disc bolts on to = 17mm

From outside face(where wheel sits) to the face where the disc sits = 22mm

These were made for 330x28 AP discs with CP6600 calipers...

ryan

you know the easy way..... your car is off the rd correct ?

take your wheel / hub/suspension leg/brakes to an engineering place and say to them can you make me a bell please and they will do it

your wasting your time asking people of offset on bells because everyones are different

i use a 356 mm x 36mm disc the bell i couldn't even tell you the thickness because they are sloped

even the p c d of the bolts will be different

some have floating/solid bells


why do things wrong way around ?

Im meeting the person this week, but wanted to give them a starting place.



cheers for the concern though Marco.

I have all the measurements from the disc manufacturer so there's no Issue there.

Was purely a offset starting place, im taking my discs, hubs, calliper to him this week and will have it all done

Ryan - I'm having some bells made at the moment. The deepest bell, with a few mm clearance to the steering arm, using a 32mm wide disc, is 24mm. 30mm will clash.(that's measuring from the hub face to the disc mounting face)
