Big brakes
 
As per title would 330mm discs fit under 17" alloys

Mortster 18-12-2012 12:07 AM

Ive got Brembos under my 17s, only just fit, about 5mm clearance. Depends on wheel type.

SpecB 18-12-2012 07:37 AM

Yes, again depends on wheel/caliper combination.

They look a very tight fit going to have to look hard for a nice pair of 17" alloys that are going to fit over the big brake kit that i am looking to buy in the near future .

Newage Sti wheels are always a good bet on a classic

Look good and have a reasonable amount of clearance for bigger brakes

asperformance 18-12-2012 07:23 PM

you actually need minimal clearance, those AP 330mm above on the bug are specifically designed to suit that wheel............

what kit are you looking at??

SpecB 18-12-2012 07:27 PM

Mine were bloody tight though, barely a credit card thickness to the spokes!

They fit behind newage wheels, if they clear brembo's they should clear them

They'll certainly fit behind newage STI wheels, but going to be a tight fit under newage WRX wheels. Might fit, but not sure.

scotty 18-12-2012 11:14 PM

I think I need find out what alloys I can get to fit over them as I want something different instead of putting on the new age sti alloys

chrisp 19-12-2012 07:50 AM

If you ask for a set of wheels that clear the brembo's on the newage Sti prior to 2005 then they'll fit the brakes your looking at

asperformance 19-12-2012 09:25 AM

they (Ksport) fit behind most 17" wheels as they require far less clearance than the likes of the new-age Brembo's...........

can normally sort a deal on Ksport if your buying new.........

Yes I will be buying new once I got enough funds together .
