Will 15" rims fit over 330 discs on my AE86? Wed, 05 October 2005 09:50 Go to next message
Hey all,
Just interested to know if anyone has come accross this before;
I'm able to get my hands on a set of commodore (VS i think) discs and calipers that will bolt up to my AE86 struts.
(It has all been changed into 4 stud pattern, same as the AE86)
I dont want to run anything bigger than 15" rims on it and i'm just interested to know if 15's will fit over the disc + calipers???
As i dont have any 15" rims just yet i cant test this for myself so any input would be much appreciated Smile
cheers Simon.

I dont think so mate..

Discs possibly on their own. But discs are only bling without the calipers.

Can someone confirm?

what calipers is also a good question, most ppl that run those size brakes have arpund 17 inch rims, probably squeeze 16's on

I don't think so either, 280mm discs with calipers only JUST fit in 14s, think about it, 330mm is a 2.5cm (0.98") increase in disc radius plus the calipers would probably be bigger too...

I would suggest to just go for some 280mm vented discs out of an MA61, there's no way you would need 330mm in a sprinter anyway... I've found that some 280mm solid discs out of an RA28 were welllll enough braking power for my KE70...

Very respectable Very Happy (and not rezpektable). Personally, anything bigger than 15s on a pre '95 car i think just looks plain stupid unless there is a very good point to it...

Cheers,
Kev.

I was thinking it would be too big..
Thx for everyone's help tho Smile much appreciated
I guess i'll have to try and source some JDM spec disc's and calipers (possibly including struts)
We'll i'll look at other possibilities now Smile
Thx, Simon

RA28 struts are a direct bolt in if you love solid things Smile.

Does a commordore have good brakes ? has any commordore ever come fitted with good brakes ? as a basic rule those calipers are worth shit all , hsv in port melbourne sell them out the back door for $15 or so . I have seen them adapted to lots of cars and the result is always the same , lots of flex , soft pedal .

I have 308mm discs under my 16" wheels.

Have a bigger disc on a smaller wheel would be a bit of a problem I think. Smile
