15’s on a 182

[tinhead]

Will 15" wheels fit over the brakes on a 182. Thinking of buying a second set for trackday use and 15" tyres are cheaper and there is more choice availible.

I would have thought theres more than enough room for 15s, will accellerate like a b*****d as well.

Just been shopping for used wheels and the guy told me he didnt think 15s would fit.

Yup, same brakes as a mk1 172 and they had 15s as standard...

Fit 195/50s to get the same rolling radius, cheap as chips for wrecking on the track and what I used to use!

205/50s are closer.
