    cav turbo wheels and big brakes

    i have cav turbo wheels on my corsa and rang up hi spec today to buy the 300mm 4 pot kit for it but after messuring the wheels there is not enough clearance from the disk to the back of the spokes, they said the only way to go is to change the wheels but i dont want to do that, is anyone else using cav turbo wheels with a big brake upgrade? is so pics and details please, thanks

    I have 285mm discs with Wilwood calipars under my turbo rims. The clearance to the wheels is a few mm max.
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    Re: cav turbo wheels and big brakes

    What handbrake cables do you use to run the cav turbo wheels, done the rear conversion today, stuck on the handbrake cable though, i understand you can use a corsa b one for one side but not sure what one to use for the other, help would be appreciated, thanks, adam.
