Right i have done a few searches and stalked people's project threads but still can't get a 100% yes or no.

Will a renault brembo 310mm set up fit under 16" speedline turini's with a good clearance?

I am possibly tempted to swap out my 16"ultraleggera's as i am struggling to get the brembo's under even spacing the wheels off by 10mm.

Turini's are the only other wheels that i like, or the ones matt evans had on his 206 gti but i can find them anywhere.

They do just about fit but its so tight that one slight knock and it would be game over.

I have thought about changing the bells for a different offset and spacing the caliper back but i think the disc will then hit the lower ball joint.

Got 2 sets of renault brembo's now and can use either bloody set Sad

Oh and no i do not want pro race 1.2's before someone suggests those LOL

Im surprised the 310's dont fit under the ultraleggera's Yes Where do they catch? What's the offset of those wheels?

The clearance on my brakes (between the caliper and the inside of the spokes) is super tiny but i have never had any issues with one knock equaling game over No

The ultraleggera's are et15-16 i belive.

The wheels taper in towards the spokes so even with a 10mm hubcentric spacer, i have about 1mm between the caliper and wheel.

Just concerned as we have lots of speed bumps and pot holes round where i live and didnt want to end up with a slight buckle in the wheels and it fouling on the calipers.

Not the greatest pic i know but you get the idea.

Thats with a 10mm hubcentric spacer fitted to move the wheels further out so the caliper does not foul on the wheel.

Gonna have to take some off the caliper mate Yes It's not ideal but that's your best option id think.

I assume there is maximum pad contact with the disc? No lips on the pad?

This is going to sound lame but how do i take some off the caliper? I have been a welder fabricator for years so i know i can take some off with a grinder but are you meaning getting it machined and if so by how much and is it safe?

Or should i just change my wheels, as much as i dont want to.

Yes maximum pad contact with no lips on either pad or disc.

Just use a file. There's plenty of spare material in that area of the caliper.

I had to take some material of my RS Brembos to get them to fit with my 16" Turinis.

As Rich says just use a decent file Yes Get yourself a nice 2mm gap and you will be fine Smile
