2.0 16v brakes / 14"s ??

[Driver]

never accturly(sp) worked this out

do 2.0 brakes fit behind 14s ? or do i need 15s

i had 2.0 brakes on my van with 14s but it needed spacers due to the design of the alloy

so anyone answer me ??

[lee coley]

nova gsi alloys wont fit 2.0ltr brakes (there not 49ET i dont think)

[General Baxter]

which alloys :)

they fit behind mine astra gte 16v alloys

[Chunky Lover]

They fit behind my early golf Gti wheels but my real quest is to get em under 13 inch SR alloys!

[Ash]

iirc the smallest wheel you can use is 14" 5.5J

I once had 2 ltr brakes on my sr and nova gsi rims wouldnt fit because of the offset

[dannyb]

Plus GTE/GSi rims are only 5 inches wide, so there isn't enough clearence for 2ltr brakes (256mm disc ones)

[Driver]

not sure what there off,

these wheels

Wierd i put 2.0lyr brakes on my sr then tried to put the wheel on and because of the offset the wheel just locked against the caliper! by the way thats a nice motor is it yours mate

[mikey14sr]

Most of the nova three spokes came in et47.5 flavour, thats probably why they dont fit, along with not being quite wide enough.

Burgo did u grind the caliper abit to fit them?

Caliper needs grinding to fit, thats why, Lol.

[coochiSR]

[Jon_nova1]

course he did, im sure it was him i saw gloating

arn't GSI brakes the same? but with different discs?

[Welsh Dan]

Nova Gsi brakes are a smaller caliper/pad and 236x20mm discs instead of 256x24mm.

[Driver]

so will the 2.0 16v brakes fit behind the 14s in my pic then or is it a matter of straping them on then hoping it fits ?

[Adam]

They should just squeeze behind your wheels.

[Driver]

cheers bud ;)

just read on topbuzz sight for anyone else wondering same question

weights from being balanced must be on outside of wheel or they foul the caliper
