Brake clearance on Ronal's

[Grayboy]

Hi does anyone know if you can fit Porker or Brembo caliper's behined the std 16in Ronal multispoke's running 305mm disc's??

I know they'll fit inside the diamiter of the wheel I was just wondering if there's any clearance problems on the back face of the wheel/spokes??

it may fit the disc but you may have trouble with the calipers mate

Thought so, bit more saving for some wheels with better clearance, want to go 205/40R16 tyres anyway which aren't good on 6J rims!

My 312mm TT brakes fit under them. However, the wheel weights wouldnt, yes it was THAT tight and by the spokes there was maybe 1mm gap. I have Seat sport Oz super t's now and there is LOADS of room.

The problem with brembo calipers is that they are very chuncky!

Greg managed to get AP Racing ones behind the ronals but that was after shaving a bit off the calipers and brackets and 10mm spacers lol.

I have never thought about seeing if my ronals would fit over the brakes but the spokes are thick on them.

Anything will fit, if you have an angle grinder and a hammer, precision engineering at its best.

I have 310mm AP Racing 4 pots... Not got round to fitting them yet. I'm not running Ronals anymore, but it's going to be tight on my Pro Race 1.2's!

Will they fit behind your planned euro wheels??

Yes and No...

I'm going to have to fit smaller discs and I'll have to run 5mm front spacers but they SHOULD go on.

In theory of course!

Got the same problem..

This weeknd I tried some rimms to see what would fot.. non did :/

I've tried my 16" toora wheels (et35) I have now (8 spoke if i'm right), spokes where too far inwards, also the evo1 rimms don't fit.. Is there a difference between evo2 rimmes and the mk3 cupraR ones? I see they also both have an et of 35.. will evo2 rimms fit? I also had a set of the "GenerationG" rimmed (the yellow ibiza's in Belgium were you also get a G shock watch when you bought one) but sold them shortly..

Was also considering using the golf3 gti 20th aniversery edition 5 hole hubs, because i've a new set of the original leon 180bhp 20vt 6spd rimms as they first came out (very fine spokes) that are really nice rimms..
