Abz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I just brought Dean's larger 4 pot brakes off his Supra and I had a slight hesitation if they will fit. Now I am planning on changing my wheels anyway but not so bloody soon! I am rubbish with offsets and the like. I popped out earlier to get a quick photo with my accurate measuring tool and just wanted your opinions. Think I got about 5cm in the first picture & about 3cm from the closet point. Alloys are 18" OZ Futura & yes I know the lips need doing, it's on my to do list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Do you not have a mate nearby who has Uk's and try fitting your wheel on theirs? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 If you bring the car down you can try them on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 It will be tight imo, maybe have some spacers at the ready I have a feeling it might be tight, though to be honest I noticed most of the setups seem tight.

SPG Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I reckon they might not fit, but i hope im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have a feeling it might be tight, though to be honest I noticed most of the setups seem tight. Ajlittlers are the tightest fitting I've seen but they fit. Just slap them on and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ajlittlers are the tightest fitting I've seen but they fit. Just slap them on and find out. I saw his at Suprapod!!! So so close to the rim lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah there's hardly any clearance on mine but they fit with no catching, just try them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 They won't fit, the uk calipers are very wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Abz, I could pop a stock 17" wheel on mine tomorrow night and do the key test/measurements to the spoke to see how they compare? btw if you are off loading the j-specs eventually could you let me know how much you want for everything and/or just the rears (pads, disks and calipers).....cheers Edited August 17, 2012 by Scooter (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz, I have a 3mm and 5mm spacers, yours if you want them to tide you by Might have to take you up on this offer, taking it by using these spacers it 'should' clear the brakes? You can have a full refund if you want Abz, no problem mate It's okay Dean, I'll use a hammer if I need too!! Abz, I could pop a stock 17" wheel on mine tomorrow night and do the key test/measurements to the spoke to see how they compare? btw if you are off loading the j-specs eventually could you let me know how much you want for everything and/or just the rears (pads, disks and calipers).....cheers Planning to sell them all as they are pretty mint, all yours if you want them dude. Thanks for offering to help on the measurement test but I think the best bet is going to be a trip to a fellow member for a test fit!! If not I might just put a wanted thread up for some stock 17's and run it on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's worth trying dude, im not saying it will but it's an extra 5mm to play with so might clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Bieber Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's worth trying dude, im not saying it will but it's an extra 5mm to play with so might clear I can collect these for you abz, and bring them down to bluewater as i work round the corner from rob if it helps?

wallis Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Looking at the measuring tool (not abz!) Even with 20mm spacers on, I still don't think they would even be close to fitting on the fronts :-( Just try your wheel on a uk spec front set up car first before u waste any money getting them fitted!!

DodgyRog Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hate to say it Abz, but they are not even going to be close and as said above, I really doubt a 5mm spacer will be enough They look like they will also hit on the outer barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks all! Much appriciate for the replies. Think I am going to have to take Andrew up on his offer of borrowing some stock 17's incase they don't fit, not looking likely now. Dude, you can borrow some 17s from me until winter Will give you a buzz a bit later dude!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
