I have just got the 310mm brembo setup that ash makes I run 16” speedline turini wheels and the clearance is so close that when the callipers get warm they rub the wheel. Has any one had this problem befor? I am going to take alittle bit off the Calliper it should be fine. ________________________________________ Where did the road go!Chris |

Thats a bit close, i run 16 pro race 1.2 which a few a few mm more clearance. But 17's are more suited especially for brake cooling________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

Yeah, I've had the same with my 16 inch Turinis. Taking a little off the calipers is the right way forward for the kit to fit with those wheels.________________________________________ Rich |

I had this problem with those brakes and my 17" superlegeras, I put the back wheel on the front and it cleared. ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

I should have about 2mm with the amount I've taken off. Didn't want to take off that much at all seeing as i don't know how thick it is there |

Not the same kit but i have next to nothing in terms of clearance on my setup and i have never had a problem  An alternative would be to sand/file the inside of the wheels a little where it catches, there should be more to play with there than on the caliper as there is at least 1mm's worth of paint. ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

My Brembo's rub on my 1.2's so I took a file to it, they seem to be OK. Gutted though as they had just been refurbed before I done that.330mm under 16" FTW! ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

Just put 17s on ffs. Rubbing down brake structure is a great idea. Brembo made them that big for a reason.________________________________________ |

Yeah only about 1mm myself, it's half paint in all fairness. I can't run 17's as the wheel will foul on my shocks, I've only got around 10mm between the tyre and bottom nut of the shock ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

Dude, I've taken off the raised logos and so little that you can still see the grain in the metal. If it was a few mm needed i wouldn't be fitting them but i doubt the raised "brembo" and "renault" logos are structural. |
