right i didnt know what forum to put in so i just put in here

is it possible to run GSI alloys and 2ltr 16v brakes? (callipers, disks etc)

or are the brakes too big to fit in the GSI alloys
cheers

yes you can but i think you have to use wheel spacers, we had a GSI down at justnovas that had 2lt brakes on GSI wheels an he had spacers

Instead of spacers, you can grind the calipers and put the wheel weights on the outside of your (shite) wheels!!

i think they are nice wheels if they have low profile tyres on them and in perfect condition. give it a go mate.
