hello all, i have fitted larger discs and the calliper carrier off the clio valver these are bigger than the standard gtt discs but not as big as the 285mm set ups. I have 15" pro race 1.2's which go over them fine but im looking for a set of track wheels and was wondering if anyone knows if cup wheels would fit over the brakes? I dont think 13" alloys would fit but the cup rims being steel may give me the clearance. Or if poss does anyone know (or could measure:D) the internal diameter of the cup rims?
Thanks in advance;)

With the clio brakes the mimimum size wheel you can use is 14" mate, there's just not enough room under the 13" rim for the 258mm discs and calipers.

I was thinking of trying 406 brembo calipers, they fit straight on the clio 16v apparently, all they need is about 3mm of shims, 15mm spacers & 15" rims to fit, clio 172 280mm discs fit with them as well.. I expect the pedal travel would be more but they should work ok.
Has anyone tried them on the GTT ?
