197/200 Brembo Conversion - Wheel Fitment Guide

Cant you take back some off that part of teh caliper? Ive seen people do it before.

 

[Dave182T]

So after much tinkering and a 3mm spacer I’ve managed to come to this...

Good or bad clearance?

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?

 

[bozothenutter]

16x7" OZ allegrita et37 300mm disc
Now fitted with 10mm spacers.
Still wanna try 5mn

Actually on 3mm spacers now

Old picture of mines when i got the wheels, theres about 1-2mm and never had an issue.

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.

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.

Brembo recommends 3mm clearance all round. I’m gunna go with no.

Is that a 300 disk and 16" wheel?

 

[bozothenutter]

clearance is clearance...

 

[VenomUK]

@bozothenutter if the wheel spins then its good

 

[Dave182T]

It is, yeah.

197/200 Brembo's, 280mm discs and 15" 2118 wheels on my Trophy.

Using PMS 280mm bracket kit (fairly new to market), calipers machined by PMS, and PMS 18mm front spacers.

 

[frayz]

Can anyone tell me if TD 1.2s clear PMS 280mm Brembos without a spacer at all?

 

[Krarl]

TD 1.2 with 280mm setup and 20mm front spacers

Toight, doesn't clear with wheel weights

2118's have no issue

 

[frayz]

No use other than to help others, i measured the clearances on the X3MAs.

• EVO Corse X3MA
• 15x7 ET38
• PMS 285mm Brembo kit with 285mm 2 piece discs.
• 5mm spacers (purely for aesthetics)

Caliper to barrel clearance approx 3mm
Caliper to spoke clearance 13mm (inc 5mm spacer) this would reduce to 8mm without a spacer.

With the 285mm PMS setup they clear TD1.2 with a 10mm spacer fine

Mine clear fine, just can't have wheel weights on the outside🤣🤣

The disc size is the only difference you have though, the brackets are the pms 280 ones right?

Correct.

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 wrong

 

[frayz]

This 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.

Nope! Slim pickings and most look s**t or weigh the same as the moon

 

[Krarl]

OZ F1 are my next buy I think. The Rota slipstreams I have don't fit without getting wappy with the grinder

 

[frayz]

For me its either another set of X3MAs or some Braid Fullrace.

 

[RustyMojo]

I like the Braids, what’s the weight Frayz?

 

[frayz]

Reported 7.2kg for the Braids vs 6.5kg for the X3MA

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..

 

[Yarp]

Standard 182 wheels clear with a 15mm spacer on the 300mm setup. No chance of getting wheel weights on the barrel though. The r888rs I run have a little yellow dot on them so as long as the tyre fitters line that up with the valve they balance pretty well. There’s space for weights on the inside of the spokes if needs be

Bump

Does anyone know off the top of their head if turbines fit over 280mm Brembo setup before I get mine painted?

Get thee sen round looowisis and try one on his car. Don't forget your safety specs to keep the rust out your eyes.

I mean I could try them on my own car but it means f**king about🤣

Problem is they'd probably fit mine but your Kyle lathe specials probably sit out further

@looowis. Doesn't seem to be working right. @Sunglasses_Ron can you fix looowisis username issue please🙏.

Did 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.

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

Feck. I knew I should have checked this before.

Cheers for the reply though!

 

[HaveaCuppa]

Quick update on the turbines/maracana’s.

They still don’t clear with a 25mm spacer. You’d probably clear it with another 5mm on top, so at least 30mm!?

Sold now anyway, so maybe just swerve them unless you want Leepu spec spacers…
