280mm Discs

[sprout99]

iirc the 2 sizes are ET35 and 38? or 33 and 35... Will do some searching

edit: though this is only an issue with proper G60 callipers, the 256mm calipers that you'll be using will clear just fine

but will need some monor tweaks ......to carrier guide pins.

yeah in order to get the calipers to fit over the discs, what i meant was either size of BBS RA will clear the 256mm calipers without any issues.

After some research, the 2 sizes are:
191 601 025 AE - 6.5x15 ET33
165 601 025 - 6x15 ET35

not sure which ones clear the G60s, but I'd hazard a guess it would be the 6.5J ones as they're a lower offset.

i'll look tonight - the offser is stamped on outside of wheels

mine are 6j x 15 ET35

There is loads of room around calliper but any bigger on bigger discs might not fit.

Keep us posted with your progress.

I too have 6j x 15 ET35 RAs and would be interested to hear if you have any clearance issues.

[sprout99]

i'll be very p155ed off if they don't fit !

my old mk3 ibiza Sport had 15" wheels and 280mm brakes

[cняis]

i have the ibiza sport 280mm set up with 15" MIM 1000s and there are no issues 

[sprout99]

it's fitted......

grinding down the slide pins was a pain but the std callipers and 280 carriers are in place.

there is very little clearance but no rubbing. Brakes feel very positive so far and should get better

Did you change the master cylinder?
