V6 brakes under Cav Gsi wheels

[ANDYRACER]

Does anyone know if i will be able to fit V6 brakes under Cav Gsi wheels? thx

[Matt Nova]

i think so mate no smaller though

[Philsutton]

15s are the smallest you can get V6 brakes on, should just get them on.

[ANDYRACER]

Bt hw cum sum speedlines catch when they are 16"?

[Philsutton]

slightly different offset? not sure but an angle grinder will sort the problem out anyway

[Mitchybee]

what are v6 brakes off of?

[Philsutton]

normally cav, vectra

[Aragorn]

cav and vectra v6 brakes are different

one type catches on speedlines the other doesnt

the reason speedlines have clearance issues is due to the shape of the insides of the spokes

[ANDYRACER]

Ahh right so i should be ok with fitting them under my cav rims the only reason i want V6 brakes is because the valver brakes feel a bit shit.

[Mitchybee]

Im know im about to make my self look really dumb, but how would you fit v6 brakes? as they are 5 stud arent they?

[ANDYRACER]

Yeh the original v6 brakes are 5 stud but they make replicas in 4 stud which are 200 quid new from somewhere in total vauxhall.

or you can get 5 stud discs redrilled. you'll need a spigot ring turned up on a lathe as the hub hole diameter is larger on the 5 stud disc, but that won't cost much if you can take the disc, old disc and a hub to the engineer.

you can also fit lancia delta 4x4/fiat marea 20v discs, they aren't the exact same dimensions as vaux discs, but they'll do. the hub hole diameter is 2mm smaller than the nova, and often fits straight on, if it didn't it would cost a pint to get the hole enlarged on a lathe, its a 2 minute job. the pcd is very slightly different, but the holes can be filed out if the studs won't go in.

both of these will be far cheaper than ?200 quid.

or you could just use renault laguna disks which fit straight on, you only have to space the calliper out a mm or so as they are offset by a defferent amount.
