2 questions -
1) will they fit under 15" fuchs? 2 ) i know they are 3.75" spacing....and you can slot the ears to fit on a 3.5" strut... would an adapter be feasible to mount them to a 3" spacing strut? |

QUOTE(Aaron Cox @ Oct 4 2006, 04:00 PM)  QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Oct 4 2006, 10:43 AM) QUOTE No, the 15" wheels will not fit over the calipers. The 16" wheels are a tight fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) Been running them under 15x6 Fuchs on a 3.0 powered 914 for 5-6 years now. Started with Carrera Bilstein struts. Re-drilled the calipers and ran a Carrera 24mm rotor. B QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Oct 4 2006, 10:48 AM) I know for sure Clay is right about 944/T brakes not fitting a 15" wheel. I have a buddy that does this mod for bugs all the time. Clay is also right on about the monoblocks. My buddy...His name is Lanner, brake conversions are about all he does. http://www.vdubengineering.com/ brad says they fit. (has proof?) Boxster monoblocks are like WAY bigger.. and they fit (under FUCHS and COOKIES) The adapter will reclock it a few degrees and will offset the mounting holes inward to sit deeper on the rotor, and clear the rim.... Get out your grinder when you go to fit the pads. They WILL hit the mounting tabs for the 3" mount on the spindle. BTDT.... |
