Default BIGGEST BRAKES BEHIND 15-16 WHEELS

hi there, i have a 93 wrx that im doing up for stage rallying. i need some nice stopping power but due to the biggest size of gravel tyre being 16 inch and more than likely i will have the 15 inch, what are my options?? and does anyone have any for sale. i would prefer to be able to just bolt everything on as id like to do it myself! cheers

Max size discs you would be able to get under 16" would be 305/308mm. I have some 16" Turbo 2000 wheels for sale fitted with 205x55x16 Vredestein Wintrac VXL's £200

Give Ian a call at Welcome To Godspeed Motorsport and see what he can do for you.

4-pots were standard on 16-inch wheels from MY98 IIRC

if you get pukka 15" gravel wheels (gpN) then they will clear the Subaru 4pots no issue.............certain wheel combo's with a 4pot AP and 304dissc will also work under 15"

personaly would stay on 15" due to the availability of tyres

Yep i have done this BUT my 16" wheels(Borbet C) hit the calipers so i had to buy some 16" standard scooby wheels (which was irritating)

no, only the SUBARU 4pot calipers will fit under a competition 15"..........the BREMBO's are far too bulky to fit under anything other than 17" and then not all................

No they are too big and won't work correctly

be far easier to sort either a 2pot or brembo rear conversion............
