hi I am just about to buy some rs2000 wheels for my fiesta rs turbo , only problem is I'm not sure what the brake clearence is like, my fiesta is fitted with 300mm st170 discs and mk3 mondeo calipers (been shaved) now my question is does anyone know if these wheels with clear these brakes?
here's a pic of the wheels I'm going to be getting
if whoever owns this pic disagree's with me using the pic then just lemme know and il take it off

any help thoughts would be greatly appreciated btw there 15inch wheels

yes mate they will cover your brakes my mate fitted a set like yours to his fiesta zetec s MK6 and used his stranded 15" alloys

 

You won't get get 300mm under MK5 wheels mate, well unless you take a grinder to the calipers I guess! I run a RS2000 track car I've used standard 2k, MK3 Mondeo calipers, ST170 calipers, FRS Brembo's and ST24's (278mm) there the biggest that will fit without the help of a grinder

 

i have seen many fiestas mate running 300 mm brakes at fordfair and in the streets and still using 15" alloys in fact its my mate who i said above as done it and i am looking at his car as i write this

 

it's not just any 15" wheels that fit over 300mm brakes mate that's te whole point in me putting up this thread, I know for a fact there are 15" wheels out there ford ad non ford that won't it over them,

John: so just to clarify you don't think these wheels will clear? u day uv fitted many brakes under these wheels tho.. ? I have shaved the caliper and d an willing to give em another shave if need be but depends if they'll fit without takin half the caliper away lol

if anyone has a set of these would they be able
to measure the inner diameter for me? where the brakes discs would be.. I'm on Saxo vts wheels ATM and they clear but just about

 

so your mate has a mk6 fiesta with 300 mm st170 brakes fitted as these exact wheels fitted to it?

 

Smidydevil: It will be very close you'll most prob have to shave abit more off the caiplers.

Johndq: You'll find the biggest and best oem caipler upgrade you can fit under them without mods is fiesta st setup which is focus st170 cailpers on 20mm smaller cairrers

Minder: what johndq was saying that you can not fit 300mm setup under rs2000 wheels without grinding the caiplers down which is true.

 

so they do fit under these wheels? I don't mind shaving then aslong as I'm not cutting half the caliper away lol

What I was saying is they won't fit without mods under the RS2000 wheels! I no this because I tried EVERY ford set up under these apart from 2wd 283mm discs I no some people in Motorsport that run 300mm with AP pro5000 calipers under Motorsport 15" wheels but that's not what is being asked here

 

I'm not sure quite how much you will have to take off mate but I no when I tried to fit them I couldn't even get the wheel on lol

 

so by the looks of it they aren't going to it over the brakes then..
bit shit if so, fuck changing my brakes for some wheels tho lol

 

mondeo's run 16" wheels for two reasons clearance of the brakes and cooling you need to get 16" wheels
