Clearance on 16 Cup Turinis

[philip]

Thought this topic came up already but I drew a blank on my search. Anyway, anybody measure up clearance on the cup wheels for max disc size + calipers? theoretically the standard 280mm discs (28mm wide pls confirm) could be uprated to 300mm or so. I also tried finding some 4 pot calipers that could fit the standard 280mm discs, but had some problems finding a caliper to fit 28mm thick discs in that size ??

Mate you can fit 305x28mm no probs

get some brembos

k-tec mentioned they were having some difficulty fitting their Brembo 305/28 and apparently needed a 17" wheel?? I dont understand because in theory 16" wheels will give you clearance up to 315mm no probs. Personally Im thinking AP racing, who have a 4pot + disc conversion and 295mmx25mm grooved disc. The next size up is a 315 I believe. The 315 kit will fit the following wheel, do you know if that has the same clearance as my 16" Turinis?

8J X 16" ET35 SPEEDLINE SL1213

erm no as they need an 8" wide wheel

From memory the Turini is 7 or 7.5" ?

 

[McBunny]

Thanks for your help
