197 brembo + 15" oz f1, HELP

[seanconnolly]

I have recently had my brembos machined down to fit with my 280 mm discs
I understand the wheels need spacing before they fit on but i must of put on like 35mm worth of spacers today, the caliper fits in the middle the top of the caliper hits, do these wheels just not fit or have I done something wrong can any one shed some light ?

What et?

@Cub. has Brembos so should be able to help.

I know he's tried a few wheels and Williams wheels fit best.

 

[Mr R.]

I sent one of my F1's to @Ph1 Tom and it wouldn't fit over he's Brembo.

 

[Cub.]

Brembos won't go under 15" Oz F1s I'm afraid.

15" wheels they are known to go under;

- Speedline Williams
- Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2
- Team Dynamics Pro Race 3

There are probably more. I think certain offset 2118s will go over them.

All will need varying size of spacers still.

 

[Knuckles]

You must have machined a hell of a lot off them! They barely fit behind oem 17"s

I've been looking at 15s to, this may help.

Also wonder if Oz ultraleggera 15s would fit.

Hi, thanks for the replies.
They it over my oz ultralaggera track wheels with 10mm soacers guess I'll need some td1.2's then.
Also, I have a stud and wheel nut conversion, can any one reccomend any hub centric spacers for me?
Thanks for your help!

 

[Cub.]

I have a stud and nut conversion, Eibach Hubcentric spacers on mine.

@Knuckles - there isn't exactly a lot of clearance, even after machining! Lol!

 

[seanconnolly]

How big are the spacers mate

 

[Cub.]

16mm on the front bud.

 

[seanconnolly]

Thanks for the help mate

Is that 15s ultraleggera or 16?

 

[Cub.]

Is that 15s ultraleggera or 16?

15. They won't go over 15" Ultras IIRC.

 

[Keith185]

They just about fit behind my 2118's and they have generous clearance inside tbh.

What et are your 2118's ?

 

[botfch]

+1 what spacer are you running for that also @Keith185

 

[Keith185]

ET43 2118 with a 15mm (playing safe) spacer.

Not measured what's the minimum you can run yet with 2118's but in standard Turinis I could in theory run 6mm spacers.

 

[botfch]

Interesting should easily fit mine with 20mm spacers.

Off to find some 2118s I go.

 

[botfch]

Thought I would update this for anyone else.

ET43 2118s fit over 197/225 brembos with no spacer.

However the clearance is about 1mm and I'm not brave enough to run that.
Currently got some 16mm spacers with longer wheel bolts which I'm a little uneasy about tbh.

@Cub. what size are your spacers out of interest/links to the stud kit?

 

[Cub.]

I'm running 16mm spacers with these studs mate;

Note the hard use comment about replacing though

Flol read that as each race session at first.

Cheers.
