hi
my novas on a set of 15" rota alloys and i want a big brake conversion,whats the biggest brake conversion i can bye 280mm or 300mm?????????
Depends on the Calipers your wanting to use, Vaux calipers with 288mm discs fit under 15's, not sure on the 308mm tho. If your gonna be using 4 pots or summet then you might get away with 300mm / 320mm ???
Also depends on the wheels, as to how much clearance there is behind the spokes.

cheers man,i waz going to by the kit that comes with 4 pot calipers,du hink iam probaliy better stiking to 280mm to be on the safe side,
Which kit were you planning on buying ?
Rota's are pretty decent wheels, more performance based yeah ? so would have thought they'd have a bit of clearance for the calipers. The brake kit manufacturer useually syas what minimum wheel size is required for certain sized kits.
