280mm - 312mm discs pro's con's ?

[F2 Stu]

Its not the overall diameter of the wheel is the clearence behind the spokes

I have 7x16" et35 compomotive mo's with spokes that stick out from the rim.
cleareance is uber tight 1.5 - 2mm between the seatsport logo and the spokes

Had to file metal off the caliper as I had a tight spot in one place

Pretty cartain they wont fit your wheels with at least 10mm spacer per side if yer lucky

my 16" Super T's were close.... won't take the 4 pots though

How im i best measuring the clearance i need ?

from the disc face to the spokes on the back of the wheels

Take off your 280 disc, fit a leon 312 disc, put wheel back on and if you dont have 62mm (iirc) from the outer face of the disc to the inside face of the spoke, you'll have to space out the difference or buy new wheels

You are aware you'll have to adapt the caliper too

Yer i had a read of an old thread you and mork posted in so i had a rough idea of whats involved

i have to mill about 4/5 mill of the calliper to get it to sit in the center of the disc is that right ?

 

[F2 Stu]

5-6mm yes
