312mm brakes with 16" Montreal wheels
« on: 17 February 2008, 18:17 »
Hi, Ive recently fitted a set of gti 16" montreal wheels to my ibiza and wondered if the 312mm brakes would fit under them? Has anyone on here tried it?

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

Cheers samy! Yeh I had them dipped and powdercoated, not sure if there was a colour name, think it was just a number! I need to get the centre caps sorted though.

Loving your interior!

if you've got the 288 mm already then all you need are the caliper carriers
