biggest brakes

[helplostafingy]

wots the largest disc brake (in mm) i can have with 15s?

Depends on the wheel, and the type of caliper. Which car/wheel/caliper?

 

[y0z2a]

go to 16" & i think it is about 305-308mm disc, but then it would depend on what caliper you had.

285mm on 15 inch williams wheels..valver wheels might be a bit tighter though..

 

[stu8v]

315mm discs fit under 15s with motorsport wheels and AP Racing calipers

285 disks and stock 16V calipers are a tight fit on the Williams and Dynamic alloys you might have 5mm more if you are careful with the calipers brackets.

u sure? my discs are 310mm and i have got 17s on and the caliper is very close to the wheel! cant imagine ap racing calipers to be much smaller than my standard ones?

I can check which calipers he has but they were expensive, circa £1500 each as they have gold plated titaniam pistons. They are gravel spec, ex Mitsi WRC or Scooby WRC i cant remember.
