Apologies if this has been covered before.

Can anyone tell me if 15" x 7" pro race 1.2's will fit over 310mm discs and 406 brembos?

Many thanks.

Pretty sure you need at least 16's to run 310mm discs.

Thanks for the reply owain.

To be honest this is what I thought, however with the clearance of the 15" 1.2's, I was hoping I could just squeeze them over!

This is the 310mm kit on 17's, very much doubt you're getting that under at 15:

I've just found the above,

These are 310mm discs which JUST fit under a set of 15" pro race 2's. Do 1.2's share similar clearance does anybody know?

They're Tarox calipers though, so don't assume anything.

There doesn't look to be that much difference between the two, however i am playing with millimetres here! So if anyone can confirm my query, that'd be fantastic!

Some of the more motorsport orientated calipers like those Tarox have been designed to allow the biggest possible disc to be used, but more road orientated calipers aren't designed that way.

The Renault Sport Brembo calipers for example need some material taking off them to fit under some 16" wheels with Ash's 310mm fitting kit.

Yeah, the 310mm kit from ash is awesome and needs 16inch wheels for sure.
