madmunky Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Anyone know if these are ment to clear large brakes as I've just tried to fit my 8pot D2's and they are hitting the wheel (18" Wheels) Not sure if I have installed them wrong of if they just wont work with these wheels Would spacers help?

uk-rich Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 spacers might, but its not the best idea, haveyou got any pics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 What kind of pictures do you want and ill take some. I think if I put on spacers then there wouldnt be enough thread left to fit the wheel on. Not impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 pics are always good so its hitting the back of the spokes then, how much would need to make them clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 only around 1cm, would spacers work then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 i'd say thats a big "only", you would need some hubcentric wheel spacers for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 http://wheels.uk.com/acatalog/wheel-spacers-toyota-supra-system-3.html Will give it a proper measure tomorrow hopefully these will solve it Anyone know any cheaper places though?

madmunky Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Ordered a set of 15mm spacers from Envy so should be delivered tomorrow and I can finish of the brakes. Heres a picture of when I put the wheel on. Oh other problem is I cant get the orginal brake lines off to replace them with my new ones, is there any trick to doing this?

uk-rich Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 there are 2 locking plates on each brake line (like cerclips sp), at the top where the brake pipe joins them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 There's two offsets for the Supra on the Z1, and the correct offset cleared my 4-pot Brembo's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Whats the offset you have, Ill have to check mine tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Got the Technospeed Z1's on my supra, but in 19" form. Got front UK brakes on with no spacers - all fine. Rears have spacers though, but I think it is purely to bring the wheels out to fill the veilside overfenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
