Wheels that clears 996 front calipers

[orons 10]

Hi,

 

Got some 996 Brembo front calipers and looking for wheels that will clear those with Ibiza Cupra R discs (305X28).

I prefer 16 inch wheels but will settle for 17.

 

Any suggestions?

There is a thread on the cupra forum with a list of all the wheels.

Not a Corrado but I ran 996 calipers on my Audi S2 with a 314mm disc and stock 16 inch rims. There really was not much between the caliper and rim.

Mark 996 front or rear calipers?

996 Fronts. The rears won't stop an S2!

 

I used 314mm A8 Discs + Seat Leon carriers machined to fit.

 

After 10K miles the only issues I had were marks on the calipers where stones had been picked up from the road and trapped between the caliper and rim due to the clearance.

 

If you are using 996 fronts make sure you fit the pad damping plates. Without they squeal badly. In fact mine squealed most of the time I owned them which at times was very annoying.

 

I (like other S2) owners had to strip and clean frequently. Great brakes though and a night / day conversion from the stock.
