brembo question...

[wilkyway]

does anyone know if the ibiza cupraR brembo's will fit under standard cupra wheels? im assuming they do but just wanna check and make sure before i get some!

cheers, simon

i don't think they will. They might fit with some spacers fitted as well

 

[mrcoyote]

I think you'll need the wheels off the Cupra R as the backs of the spokes have been cut away to clear the calipers. I could be wrong though...

 

[wilkyway]

doh! could i use spacers and longer bolts? i thought summit stupid like this would happen lol!

dont think they will, heres a list that will clear the brakes though

Yes!



They dont, iirc you need something like 30mm spacers, which isnt good!

exactly, and with them on i would imagine your camber would be sensative as f00k !!!!

its a bit of a mission to find wheels that clear brembo's, worth it though imo

presume you were going to type 15mm?

Ps.. hows your BT coming on?

What about some Wilwoods? They're not quite as restrictive when it comes to the type of wheel required, but I've no idea whether they'd fit behind standard wheels though.

 

[wilkyway]

i havent really shopped about for them tbh, i just know where i can get a cheapish set of cupraR brembo's from so thought i'd ask about them!

is there anyone who has ever tried without success at gettin them on? coz i'd be willing to put 15mm spacers on but 30mm will be pushing my luck a bit!

 

[Forbez]

I believe Bill has, and thats where the 30mm spacers came from,

Can you pm me the details of the brakes, if you dont mind, I personally dont mind getting new wheels to fit them!

There's been loads of posts in the past about this also, so this isnt just a guess response.

you should be so lucky! i think im just gonna get them and keep them for a few months til i can afford some new wheels! i think some mo's are in order!
