brakes????

[daverobson]

edit ; what are the best brakes to put under 14's

thanks

[Lee-1984]

there **** anyway, might as well just upgrade to 2.0 calipers

[daverobson]

will they fit under?

[Nova_Tek]

but 2.0 calipers won't fit under 13'' steelies

[Richie_B]

doubt it. my 16xe (corsa) ones didnt fit in my 13" steels

[Jay]

Yes they will as there 236mm but with solid discs. Best bet would be to get some 236mm corsa b brakes with the vented discs, they go under 13" wheels too.

[Lee-1984]

13" steelies are ditch finders tho, may as well fit bmx wheels.......lol

[daverobson]

mmm really want 13's, know if 14's will fit in standerd arches at 100mm?? lol

My 15's fit with loads of room with rolled arches, probably didn't need to roll them to be fair. All depends on the car though, spanish build tolerances :roll:

edit: Just thought in reality my car is much higher than 100mm due to being stripped out actually, so not sure

[Lee-1984]

mines on 15's at 90mm on front 100mm back but completly stripped rear aint the tires hitting the archs i worry bout, its the exhust system grounding on everything, most def winding coilovers up this weekend

[daverobson]

mmmm, will try on my 14's maybe, just dont know lol

[GRUNT 16V]

its not the diamiter you have to worry about its the width of the wheel !! 13" will fit over the GTE brakes but when you have new pads fitted the wheels wont fit as the caliper is in the way!!

[Nova_Tek]

Take the pads out job jobbed lol

[daverobson]

what about under 14's?

[mowgli]

what about under 14's?

256mm vents off a astra/vectra etc will fit under most 14" steelies, but you get clearance issues on some of the gm factory alloys, IIRC the gte 3 spokes are a bit tight.... aftermarket ones should be fine though

[Ben]

as said go for the corsa gsi ate brakes.

[AlexW]

Dont go for 3spokes, you can fit 256mm 2.0 brakes but your calipers will need cutting down.

i dont think corsa GSi ones will clear 3spokes eather. I fitted 14inch SR 5.5j wide steels over corsa gsi brakes though.

They did when we fitted them to Will's old white GTE.

[daverobson]

want some sr steels, or some normall steels? will just have to get bigger wheels than lol

[jimbob-mcgrew]

ive got 14x5.5's over my 2 litre brakes.

people say theres only a select amount of 14" alloys that fit over em, others say if there 5.5 they should, i dont know which alloys will and wont, but steel wheels will :thumb:
