Where did you get the calipers? They look like they are hardly even going to grip the disc?

what size discs?

Either the caliper or the hub must be wrong pal if the discs are the correct size.

Are they R5 GTT discs with clio 16v pad carriers?

Might have clio 16v caliper carriers. You'll probably find the caliper is 10mm further out than normal.

16v carriers definitely you could just buy the slightly bigger disc?? Unless they don't fit under 13's

When i bought my raider is had 16v carriers on and slightly bigger discs sort of an in between mod compared to the 285 big brake conversion that k-tec used to do.

Running standard rims ,the pads only Cover a Bit of disc as u can see.

The hole Centers on the carrier iS about 8 inchs just measured in dark ,Got spare hubs will compare ,no carrier to compare though .Thanks guys
