Title: ttrs brakes/what wheels
Post by: Markyvitch on May 21, 2016, 12:17:05 pm
Morning  :smiley:
I have the ttrs brakes all round on my ed30 with 12mm spacers, and was hoping to lose the spacers is there a definitive thread on what wheels will fit without or much much smaller spacers :confused:
Thank you  :happy2:

Its always a pita with brake clearance but Team dynamics 1.2's are always a good bet. 8j ET45 will clear them fine and are a good looking/ light/ relatively cheap and very strong wheel  :happy2:

OZ ultraleggera 18x8" ET48? Fits but is tight!!
I had ultraleggera 19" before aswell.
BBS ch-r 19x8,5" and my present ATS Racelight 19x8,5" ET45.
Also audi rotors (rs5) fits.

Thinking about TTRS calipers with 340mm TTS discs myself.
Would BBS VZ fit over these?

Think you'd need a 10-12mm spacer on those mate

Really?! So 8 wide with a final offset of 32-34, roughly?

Can't find where I read it but I'm pretty sure they need a decent sized spacer. Only way to be sure Is try it or find someone who's done exactly the same unfortunately

True. I know there's no exact formula as a lot of it comes down to the design of the spokes. I'm sure I've read about Pescaras being ok with a 12/15mm spacer, and they're 13ish mm more tucked than a VZ. Might be wrong though. More research needed!

When my ttrs discs are done i probably go this way myself. Were can you find the caliper brackets? And what do they cost?

AKS do them. Think they're Dave B jobs. 200 odd from memory.
