iirc its 57mm (you only count 2 of them) so work out areas required.
if the larger disks are the same width.
well for OE spec ones then you look up the standard brake size for the car and for wilwoods they generally give you a guide.

[fennyLET]

So the 4 pots must be about 26mm each?

[fennyLET]

Std disc is 25mm wide by the looks of things.

[fennyLET]

These are good with 324mm discs.

Bear in mind with any 4 pot caliper unless its mega slimline you will properly struggly for spoke clearance on a 49mm offset wheel.

[fennyLET]

hummm im not sure what my offset is....

Is 49 closer to the hub than 39?

[fennyLET]

Rite well ive brought 2 Kuhmo KU31s and 2 Toyo T1-Rs.

What ones would you put on the front?

[alistairolsen]

personally kumhos on the front and the toyos in the bin but others will disagree!

[chip]

t1rs are just a normal road tyre, nothing track related about them, quite good in the wet

[fennyLET]

Well tbh the car will see more of the road than it will the track. So thought id get a half decent set of road tyres.....
Ive heard good thing's about the t1rs but then they changed to t1s's that i hear arent so good.

When the car is finnerly on the road and ive saved abit more cash i will proberly look to buy a set of 888s but at the moment i just cant justify the £500+ price tag.
