No photos yet still workingThe edge of the caliper is hitting the tapered part of the wheel that meets the hub (if that makes sense) |

That's where they all foul due to the low disc offset and smaller radius than they were designed for.________________________________________ 205 GTIXsara HDI |

16" Just fit but I can see why the 17's would foul. If you've got 17's go for the 330mm!________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected! Project Thread Looking for: VTS P1 Rack PR1.2 16" |

Lol I had clearance issues on a 288mm setup as the calliper sits so far in on 17" wheels the spokes haven't fully gone out yet... Used 5mm hub centric spacers on the fronts. Still have them kicking about if someone wants them.The 330 setup moves the calliper about 20mm inward so there's s**t loads of room on anything 17". ________________________________________ Black power baby!
