Sub 8 Brake conversion

[grmagler]

Hi there I was thinking of doing the brake conversion to the sub 8 brakes.

The 18" wheels I have bought have a lot more clearance on the spokes 1.5 cm more with the standard Brake caliper than the standard 19" wheels have that will not fit over the sub 8 calipers without spacers.

Does anyone know if the sub 8 calipers would have enough clearance to the rim as apposed to the spoke on these 18's

Cheers if anyone can help in advance

Thanks I will factor in the cost of the 19" wheels and tyres as well

The distance between the disc and the brake is minimal, no place for the balancing weights. These are the 18" wheels my friend's Golf V with 370mm Brembos (the same as Cupra)

But the bigger problem is the distance between calipers and spokes. I had a big problem with it when looking for winter wheels (my Cupra with Brembos - https ://goo.gl/photos/goM871YZXvEw766D9)

Thanks, I have good spoke distance on my 18's but will get the 19's anyway
