For example you can have 16's with bigger or smaller overall circumference in 16" 205 width 16's will have a bigger sidewall than the 195 width so the 195width 16's end up SMALLER than 15's with 195/55/15. 205 are bigger than 195/55/15 ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

17's look bang tidy!Willwoods are a nice light calliper and extremely good value for what you get, given any chance I would personally choose APracing calipers ________________________________________  "winners come and go but legends never die..." autorite-sport.co.uk |

Are you going to sell your kit then? Yeah that's the thing, having a setup that suits, the AP's are nice for competition use as they are so light and its unsparing weight ________________________________________ "winners come and go but legends never die..." autorite-sport.co.uk |

Does that set up include brackets and discs or just the calipers. If it was just the calipers I would probably find myself stretching to the extra £50 notes just for a new pair? ________________________________________ Team: Moonstone GTI-6™Team: ian7675 wrote: Remember....a 6 isn't just a car, it's a part time job  |
