Brakes under 15 inch wheel


They would fit in there easy

Brembos require massive clearance, calipers are very wide as you can see here

I went from 15x6.5" ET42 -> 15x7" ET35. What a difference! Couldn't push it as the arches needed rolled proper however you could feel how much more planted the car felt, looking forward to driving it again now the arches are sorted :wow:

Can you still have the whole of your inner wheel arch covers fitted or do they catch? Or rub on full lock.

Just thought when rolling the arches you might not be able to still use your inner covers.?

tell a safe clearance between caliper and wheel.
a little stone can become dust i think on a rotating wheel imo.

...depending on the makeup of the stone, it could groove out a nice gouge in the rim, which can be bad if the gouge is too deep and in the wrong location. Had this happen in the past when clearance was an issue with the caliper and rim. If i recall correctly, the bleeder valve broke off too from the caliper.

Just the rear arches that needed rolled!

Fronts i still run arch liners, even with 6mm spacers it just catches the plastic clips for the liner at times :nice:
 
Sweet thats a load of my mind.

I jus hope my new repaired welded arches on the rear will be able to be rolled..... :nono:

Might just get them to cut off the inner lip while its there, as its in the shop at the mo getting the rear quarters and archs done.
