Technical Brake Upgrade With 14" Abarth Wheels On Seicento?

[mark_mcd]

Hi,

Can this be done with these wheels as I have read that some 14" wheels have problems going over the bigger brakes? Any pics?

Cheers,
Mark

Im sure when CinqyAbarth put sie abarth alloys over his GT setup they caught.

I have GT's in Sei abarth alloys - plenty of clearance

 

[Brooky]

any spacers??

any spacers??

using 6mm spacers, but fit without anyway. Craig had problems with his new alloys not the abarths...

im sure his abarth alloys caught aswell.because when i collected the speedlines from his,he put the abarth one back on and he said they caught i might be wrong tho

that was too longer bolts iirc, nothing to do with the calipers.

hi guys... I had the 14" Seicento Abarth (speedline) wheels on with no spacers at all and no catching on calipers, then Punto 14" Abarth Speedlines on and they had no catching at all on front with no spacers, back needed 10mm spacers. Now with the Lancia Cromodora 14" wheels 12mm wouldnt clear so i needed 15mm spacers (but have 19mm instead so they stick out the arches abit ) on the front to clear the calipers nicely and none on the back, this is due to the dish on the Lancia's.
Job done HTH

EDIT: and yea the pillock at my local motorfactor gave me too long bolts when i had the speedlines on so they caught the drum inside on the rear with 10mm spacers...

Heres a pic, mine are GT Calipers with Red Dot 20 Groove Vented Discs, and Red Dot Pads. Very good performance!

a pic of them behind my old badly kerbed wheel!

Behind my newly refurbed Lancia Cromodora wheels which cover them up!

I love my new wheels
