As per title topic really. I've bought some 17" TT Comps which I'm going to get refurbed before fitting.

 

Then I'll be fitting them along with some rebuilt Brembo's off a LCR.

 

Is anyone running or has run this setup at any point? Are spacers required for clearance with these alloys? If so what size?

 

 

Cheers

Spacers will be needed.   I can only just get TD pro race 3's over brembo's without spacers, to make my TD 1.2's fit I had to buy 15mm spacers.

i got TT comps with tarox 6 pots and i dun run any spacers

If no-one knows the exact amount I'll just have to do a trial run and take some measurements before hand.

 

 

I believe the Tarox's don't stick out as much as the Brembo's, hence not needing any.

If I could find someone close to me with those wheels I would happily try them on the Golf to see what clearance we have.  Anybody on Merseyside?

If I remember correctly the TT Comps are ET32? If so then you should be able to get away with 5mm maybe even none... I was looking for when I had Brembos but went in a different direction before being sure.

James, no need to put yourself out fella! I'll just measure it myself if no-one knows. Cheers though

 

 

Indeed TT Comps are ET32. Fingers crossed I can get away with it. Could do without the extra expense - spent enough on this car the last few months!!

I know TT Reps would not go anywhere near when I fitted my Brembo's and the Pro Race 3's are so close you can just about get a fag paper between the wheel and calliper. I have 15 mm spacers for the Pro Race 1.2's and these are the same with the spacers on, about a fag paper clearance.

Finger crossed for the Comps then :-/   I'll get Dan to come round and loan me his spacers for 5 minutes!

They clear brembo calipers as stock. I have them over my 6 pots now too.

I was about to say they'll clear them, 99% sure as that was my next set of wheels lined up. My pro race 3's cleared my brembos fairly comfortably too.

I have 5mm, 10mm and 15mm ones you can try mate!

You can't tell just by the ET though,as its spoke design/thickness that causes most caliper clearance issues,ET does not take into account the size/thickness/design of spokes.

Actually... you could always just try the Comps on yours seeing as you already have Brembo's

Now that's a bloody good idea, why didn't we think of this sooner?!
