Default Alloy choices

Due to my current issues with my Speedlines Chrono's not clearing 4 pots it looks as though I am gonna have to start my search for wheels again.

If I am looking at new wheels on line, does a list exists of what 17" wheels WILL clear 4 pot calipers? If no such list is available what should I be checking to ensure clearance? I have looked at many sites and non seem to mention if they would clear or not.

All advice greatly appreciated

Dave

17" Speedline Turini's will clear, PPF7 copies will clear, Inpvites, Rotas etc infact just ring the lads at Revolution Performance Motorstore

Tell them what you need and they'll advise you on whell and tyre packages.
Had a few sets of alloys off them over the years

have you thought of wheel spacers with your chronos ?

i have the prodrive wrc-1 , 17 inch , 53mm offset , and godspeed 335mm discs , , nats **** away from the caliper but it's never touched

also got some inovits for track and they're a 48mm offset so clear a bit better

That thought had entered the frame. Have spoken to someone I know who has 4 pots and we are gonna offer up one of my wheels to thier car to see how bad the clearance issue is.

Is there a difference in caliper size between the 4 pots on a classic STi with the raised lettering and the 4 pots on a 2002 Bugeye? I have bought the bugeye calipers and the car I am gonna try my wheel on has the older style

Hi

Glad to be of some help mate.

Give me a shout if you need any more info on any other wheels or if you want to go down the spacer route.

Cheers
