Got the little brakes fitted today for a dry test run to try different wheel and spacer combo's:

Comparison of 312's to r32's:

what size are the r32s? 330? you get standard wheels over them? wont clear my calipers! look maaaaaasssssssssive!

They do look massive!

Can't remember exactly maybe 340mm or there abouts

The spiders went over but would need maybe a 25mm spacer to fit

R32's are 334x32...and really heavy!!!

So you used the RS4 wheels? 18x8 ET35? Did you use a spacer in that case?

looking good but how is the brake pedal feeling?!

+1 surely the MC isnt big enought to make these work well?

No mate in that pic they are just balanced on trolley jack. No way you ca run a 25mm spacer on these cars as you'd be outside the arch lol.

Had more wheels given me today to try and only one fits over them with no spacer!

Not telling what though lol!

As per normal been as they aren't fitted yet lol, this is just a dry run so to speak to make sure I can get wheels on the wagon! Lol.

Old calliper was just left under car and then refitted after.

They should be on the weekend as long as I can get some super blue brake fluid by then to run in them which is what I've been advised.

They are actually toureg callipers the 18z version so piston size should be similar..

I may of imagined it but you might gave fitted these previously to Jake 'trackslag's car the mk4 with these wheels on and track styled?

As above dude the pistons are similar sized apparently.

Meant to pm you did u split one of your vrs'? If so how much would you say a standard one is worth roughly in bits? And how long did it take you to get rid of it all?

So you needed 25mm spacer for the RS4 's????????

At a rough guess yeah I could get my fingers in the gap so roughly 25 mm

OMG!!! I guess they are the ET35 not the ET42 although is more reasonable!!!

Custom made two piece discs with different offset is one solution probably!

Its already solved mate. New wheels are being built up already. Its no the offset so much its the design of the wheel how they concave/vex out from the centre part.

These brakes can be run with standard R32 alloys and even certain 17's with the correct wheel design.

I've opted for a wheel i was actually looking at changing to anyway so all is good!

Dave

hehe awesome mate
