Aftermarket 16s possible with the brakes ? Jcw/brembo
I was hooooooping that 16x7 et20 rim would clear these jcw/brembo calipers... my r56 calipers I was sold are junk so I'd love to finally pull the trigger on a set of these since they're now reproducing them for a very affordable price..
can anyone chime in who running this setup please ?
also do I HAVE to run the 312mm??? rotor or could I get away with using the r56 S 294mm??? Rotor with those calipers ??
and do i use the r56 S caliper brackets or the r53 ? I know I gotta use r56 lines which I already have or do these bolt rite to the hub ?
I’d be very interested to hear how these fit under aftermarket 16” rims. Would open up some more wheel choices for JCW cars.
As for rotor selection, you will need to use the 316mm rotors. Anything smaller won’t mate correctly with the pads.
For the brackets, these bolt directly to the knuckle. There are no other brackets required.
Ok...
Are you running these jcw calipers by chance ? If so or if anybody else is , could I by chance bother you fir a measurement of the bottom of the rotor to the top most point on the caliper. Then I could compare that to the my rims inner diameter and that'd tell me if they'd clear or not.
