The caliper is off a 300zx, GTR skyline etc. The 30mm 4 spot alloy job which bites a 280mm diameter rotor.
Anyway i am trying her with bathurst globes at present which are 14". The caliper only just touches the outside edge of the rim but does scrape on the front of the wheel too....ie too thick width wise, not in height off the rim. If that makes sense. I am sure getting the 15" rim will fix the fact that she touches touches on the outside of the rim but i am not sure how to stop her from touching the front of the wheel? except having the centre rotor/hub mouting part of the wheel raised further from the front part of the wheel. any ideas here? --- Chris Pronios <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry but I have forgotten the original post that > mentioned the fatter calipers, I was just replying > to the backspace-offset issue. > > Back to the original question then, have you > actually on hand calipers fatter than your original > that will not fit in a particular rim??? > > I am asking because judging from past experience, it > is usually the design of the rim and the diameter > that dictates the size of the disk/caliper combo you > may install.
