tricky Regular Location: Canberra Registered: July 2005	Re: old school 5 stud rims Tue, 22 November 2005 09:03 OK. Found a few more combos today. Honda Integra (2L): -diameter = 300mm -thickness = 25mm -offset = 47.5mm -hub hole = 64mm Honda NSX (rear rotor): -diameter = 303mm -thickness = 23mm (1mm thicker than FC rotors) -offset = 32.5mm -hub hole = 64mm Ford Focus (2L): -diameter = 300mm -thickness = 24mm -offset = 43.5mm -hub hole = 63.6mm A couple more FC caliper options are feasible. Using Subaru WRX rotors could work, although the offset is larger, so the bracket would need more meat, and it could foul things(maybe). Some other options are things such as nissan Z32 calipers with camry sportivo or MY05 STi rotors, but the nissan calipers are a bit bulkier. At this stage, I'm inclined to think that the NSX rotors would be preferable. For these, only four holes need to be drilled, as the hub clearance hole matches the RA23 item. The only question remaining is the acceptability of a rear rotor on the front... Shouldn't be a problem, because the rotor is no thinner than a front rotor in any place, and as such is structurally sound. 23mm might well be an ok width for the calipers also, as the FC rotor is 22mm stock. Shouldn't be a major drama to space the caliper by 1mm though. And I assume the rotor has to be snug on the hub? ie, it wouldn't be satisfactory to use a 68mm rotor on a 64mm hub? Seems dodgy to me, but if for some strange reason it wasn't, then Audi S4 rotors would work well in this application also. I think I need to see an engineer... [Report message to a moderator]
