Do 312mms fit under 15" wheels

[vroomtshh]

Exactly as the title, do 312mm brakes fit under 15" steels?

 

[bubbles1]

Almost certainly no. When i fitted 312mm disks i needed 17'' wheels to accomodate the calipers which go hand in hand with 312mm's

312s with ap calipers fit under some 16s. So I can't see plain calipers needing 17s

indeed, normal 312s fit under the standard Fabia vRS 16s but I remember them looking pretty tight

So it's probably gonna need 16s then.

Hmmm is it better to get 16s for winter or go to 288mm brakes and 15s. Decisions decisions

312mm brakes under 16" wheels, I borrowed the pic from Philsip in another thread. I don't think 15's will take them!

I have tarox b32 calipers which do need a bit extra space behind the wheel.

All depends on the shape of the wheel..

A 15" steel might just be ok whereas a 16" alloy might not, all because of their design.

Can you not get hold of a steel to try?

I've always used round wheels on my cars lol (only joking) but i know what you mean.
My pro race 1.2's need spacers to fit over my calipers but my pro race 3's have better clearance and therefore don't need spacers.

Pro race 1.2's are terrible for caliper clearance on the ibiza, i woulda needed a 15mm spacer to clear the ap's :|

Steels tend to have good diameter clearance and caliper width won't matter if your on about the tt calipers? Think it would be okay!

what width & offset are your pro race 3's?

 

[bubbles1]

Not sure of off set but the width is a 7j.
I would prefer a 16'' wheel as the tyres are cheaper but not quite enough room with the tarox b32's

 

[knight85]

so will they fit?

I know they fit under 16 and 17's....been looking at some steelies too
