Vr6 brakes

Recommended Posts

Hi.

Can anyone advice please or have some knowledge on what brake system for front would suit to run with BBS Rs 17' with a ET 26 - I have the wheels but won't fit unless use 20mm spaces to clear  existing calipers and then they extend beyond wheel arch - no a pretty site .

Rear are perfect.

I believe the existing brakes are original set up .

 

 

Any advise greatly appreciated 

 

👍

You dont want to put smaller callipers on full stop imo - if they are genuine RS then I understand your dilemma- if they are reps get rid- if they are genuine sell them and make up the money and get correct fitment.  I also imagine you could change the barrels to change the offsets perhaps  but not to clued up on splits.

Beautiful alloys feel your pain =  These are the spec that fit a corrado  BBS RS 301 sizes are 17×7.5″ +33 PCD 5×100. The BBS RS-  they are hard to find  and fetch 3k they are rare fitment because most RS went onto BMW E30  . What stud pattern are yours do you have adapters as well . 

Great link here that will help you.

Offsets that don't require spacers and don't rub the arches are from 33 to 43 on a 7j wheel with a 205 width tyre.

you could try giving HiSpec a call as they manufacture to order & may be able to accommodate the different offset 

i have their Billet 4's which are 4 pots & are awesome calipers
