Grundy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Okay first off, if you're going to comment, 'why are you doing this' or 'This can't be done' then don't bother commenting please, Think outside the box peoples! So if you want my money, be a bit more helpful please Rant over, 2 Things What's the offset of the front brembo discs? I.e if you measured from the rear of the disc to where the hub connects to. 2nd question Can anyone supply me 2 discs with a larger offset? With some measurements and custom adaptation, I have about 6-9mm room behind the standard disc for it to move back. Thus moving the Calliper back, thus getting my wheels on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I fully understand what your proposing but wouldn't a 10mm spacer be easier, this is what they are meant for after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I fully understand what your proposing but wouldn't a 10mm spacer be easier, this is what they are meant for after all. Yes, but then the tread of the tyre will be sticking outside the arch. Might be worth PMing CS or Clarks who will have discs handy to measure for you and could almost certainly get you what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The offset or height is 49mm. Not sure if there would be a similar disc with a larger height would be available but if not what about using a two piece rotor and having someone make custom bells? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a spacer going the other way Wheel fills the arch no problem, but doesn't clear the Calliper, so if I push the disc back, then I have clearance without going outside the arch. The offset or height is 49mm. Not sure if there would be a similar disc with a larger height would be available but if not what about using a two piece rotor and having someone make custom bells? Thanks Ewen, good shout, I'll speak to my guy and see if he can get some bells made up or has some contacts. Are you able to supply the Rotors?

There's been a LOT of plans now Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk Shhhh This plan is going to work! Need 13mm Clearance to get the wheels on. I have between 6-9mm room behind the current disc. I have a bracket made to move the mounting position of the Calliper. With a disc height of 57mm, then I will only need a 5mm spacer and the wheels will be on! What could possibly go wrong?
