Cant be good for heat management also if something was to get stuck in there. I went for the 16s for this reason. What mounting bracket are using for the calipers? Pms?So after much tinkering and a 3mm spacer I’ve managed to come to this...
Good or bad clearance?
Actually on 3mm spacers now16x7" OZ allegrita et37 300mm disc
Now fitted with 10mm spacers.
Still wanna try 5mn
To be honest, this was just a loos fitting and may have very little extra room when fully torqued up. The last cut was 1mm, I can safely take another 1/2 off but yes you are right, that was my next thought was to start using the polishing wheel at work to lightly take some material away at the offending parts. Not to mention the horrendous DIY paint job, there is a massive run which isn't helping matters when it comes to clearance.Cant you take back some off that part of teh caliper? Ive seen people do it before.
I'm using 280 brackets from @0ss As for heat management if running correct parts then heat can be your friend. I do know brembos dissipate heat quite quickly, Along with a cold air feed then heat management will be good.Cant be good for heat management also if something was to get stuck in there.

Is that a 300 disk and 16" wheel?Old picture of mines when i got the wheels, theres about 1-2mm and never had an issue.
It is, yeah.Is that a 300 disk and 16" wheel?
TD 1.2 with 280mm setup and 20mm front spacers
Toight, doesn't clear with wheel weights

2118's have no issue

Mine clear fine, just can't have wheel weights on the outside🤣🤣With the 285mm PMS setup they clear TD1.2 with a 10mm spacer fine

The disc size is the only difference you have though, the brackets are the pms 280 ones right?No use other than to help others, i measured the clearances on the X3MAs.
Caliper to barrel clearance approx 3mm
- EVO Corse X3MA
- 15x7 ET38
- PMS 285mm Brembo kit with 285mm 2 piece discs.
- 5mm spacers (purely for aesthetics)
Caliper to spoke clearance 13mm (inc 5mm spacer) this would reduce to 8mm without a spacer.

I had mine placed on the inside in the deeper part of the barrel. I did have a drawing on my phone to show the tyre monkeys so they can't get it wrongMine clear fine, just can't have wheel weights on the outside🤣🤣
Nope! Slim pickings and most look s**t or weigh the same as the moonThis thread has reminded me i should really flog my Turinis and buy another set of 15s. There still isnt a great deal of choice is there.
Reported 7.2kg for the Braids vs 6.5kg for the X3MAI like the Braids, what’s the weight Frayz?
F1s need a silly big spacer. Think I got to about 35mm before running out of wheel stud length and only just looked close to clearing then..OZ F1 are my next buy I think. The Rota slipstreams I have don't fit without getting wappy with the grinder
Get thee sen round looowisis and try one on his car. Don't forget your safety specs to keep the rust out your eyes.Bump
Does anyone know off the top of their head if turbines fit over 280mm Brembo setup before I get mine painted?

I mean I could try them on my own car but it means f**king about🤣Get thee sen round looowisis and try one on his car. Don't forget your safety specs to keep the rust out your eyes.
Atleast tag me ya f**kGet thee sen round looowisis and try one on his car. Don't forget your safety specs to keep the rust out your eyes.
Problem is they'd probably fit mine but your Kyle lathe specials probably sit out furtherI mean I could try them on my own car but it means f**king about🤣
@looowis. Doesn't seem to be working right. @Sunglasses_Ron can you fix looowisis username issue please🙏.Atleast tag me ya f**k
Did you ever find this out?Bump

Nah they don't mate. I ended up selling mine in the endDid you ever find this out?
I’ve just got myself a set of turbines but never thought to check if they’ll clear a 280mm set up.
Feck. I knew I should have checked this before.Nah they don't mate. I ended up selling mine in the end
Even with a 20mm spacer they didn't fit. Not without taking a large chunk of the caliper off with a grinder
