Hello there fellas and the occasional lady.

I have a question, will the alloy mini spares calipers on a 7.5 inch disk go behind rose petals or mini life wheels? Without of course pushing the wheels out past the body line.

Thanks

Samuealle.

Yes they will fit if you use the spacers supplied.

Gavin, will this cause the wheels to protrude from the body work though?

both the newer billet minispares calipers and the older grey cast ones fit fine behind the minispares rosepetals. the spacer must always be used - this is only left out if the car is been used for F.I.A events (and the discs and cooper s calipers need to be machined to clear)

occasionally the bleed nipples will 'just' touch the wheel, but this is due to varience in the length of the bleed nipples rather than the fault of the wheels - you can either fit shorter bleed nipples (M10 thread) or relieve them a little.

all the clearance issues where checked before the wheels where signed off for manufacture

the minispares calipers also fit fine behind the minilife 4.5's

both types of wheel will fit within the standard archless body work with a 165 tyre fitted.

photos, as requested by gav!







hope this helps
