whats the smallest diameter wheel you can have with 280mm brakes?

Title: Re: 280mm brake spacers are here :)
Post by: sportline_velly on 12 May 2005, 10:28

15"


its worth noting that as if you get a flat u either need a 15" space saver of you will have to swop a wheel around (which ive done in the past lol)

Just to add my little brick here. I had similar spacers with 280 G60 rotors and the braking was 10 times better than before.

One suggestion though. See if you can create some for the MK1 but with the Girling G54 calipers. They are so much better than the standard MK1s. I've tried this setup and with a 22mm MC and rear discs from a MK2 with MK4 calipers.

I have been watching this thread but have gone another route and got a set of these adapters.

I contacted this guy on ebay and he still has some left. £65 including P&P from the states. Unlike some adapters these are for G60 calipers and don't use the standard MK1 caliper.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9889&item=4542789081&rd=1

Look the same as these to me:

There is also a more expensive version:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9889&item=4563321788&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Got mine this week and look perfect apart from the £14 customs charge  :sad:

Hope this helps some of you wanting to upgrade your brakes
