As above. I'm trying to work out if the KSport 8pots 356mm kit will fit under my wheels, 18" OZ superleggeras.

Diameter wise the wheels seem ok but i'm unsure about caliper clearance.

Does anyone have the 8pot 356mm kit fitted under these wheels already?

With 330mm discs or 356mm??? A friend of mine has ksport 8 pots, 330mm discs with 17" supperleggras and i have the same brakes with 17" Rota GRA's they fit with no problems....but with the 356mm discs you would need 18" wheels.

I know, i've got 18s, thats why im asking.

I'd like the 356mm 8pot kit and i believe ive got enough room diameter wise, my question is this - is there enough clearance for the 8pot calipers under my wheels???

Greetings Claire Yes, the calipers will fit behind your wheels mate

air.mech23

Now then
And how do you know that? I've sort of worked out that they wont.

ilogikal1

They fit over the Brembos and if memory serves the offset required isn't too different.... but you have got me thinking now

Your best bet is to ask Bren@apex, just drop Bren a PM and if anyone can tell you for sure you're asking the right person there. I believe the offset of the superlegs will cover them though

air.mech23

Yeah, Brens given me dimensions to work with but i think theyre for standard brakes.

And it doesnt help with mine not having standard brakes at the moment though.

From what ive worked out there will be 1mm interference between caliper and wheel. Thats on the fronts. The rears are fine.

ilogikal1

In that case I'm afraid I can't help. They should fit, but I can't find anything to say they definitely do.

air.mech23

No, i cant etiher. Thats why im asking on here. I'd like them to fit but i have a feeling i may have to get APs, which i know you're a fan of

So surely if the 330mm kit fits works with 17" superleggeras with no clearance issues then the 356mm will work with 18" the only difference being wheel diameter.

air.mech23

Yep, i would have thought so but from the measurements Bren has given me, i've got 1mm interference.

ilogikal1

I am slightly biased though


Does your mate use spacers? And do you (or does he) happen to know the offset?

jayallen

iTrader: (31)

I dont think he uses spacers no, no idea what the offset of the Superleggeras are maybe the OP does....I have no spacers either, the offset is 45 the same as the Inovit tarmacs i had on there prior to the Rotas and both wheels give more than enough clearance.

ilogikal1

Fair do's, cheers fella

air.mech23

I'm trying to find outt he offset now. This is a flipping nightmare, finding brakes to fit!!

ilogikal1

Do what I did, buy the brakes and then buy some new wheels to go over them

air.mech23

You bought new wheels???!!!! I arnt doing that.

ilogikal1

Was getting some anyway, the brakes just helped me narrow down the options.

Are your Superlegs 7" or 8" wide?

air.mech23

7" i think.
