ok guys tried fitting these ce28ns on a tme lastnight

it touches the brake calipers for some reason.

however theres a twist it clears e8/9 calipers

anyone know as to whats going on there?

i want these wheels!!
 
are you sure the car they came off wasnt running spacer plates?

because the rotors are the same from 5-9 as you probably know.

i didnt think the calipers were any bigger on the 8/9
 
well they didnt come off a 8/9

they are brand new but it was test fitted on an 8/9 and cleared the brembos.

i know they didnt change the caliper sizings etc on the later models so wondering what the hell the reason for them touching on the 6.5.

issit because it had aftermarket rotors (the 6.5)?
 
sounds like they may not have been test fitted properly to me.
or they test fitted them with spacer plates...

did you actually see them be fitted to the car?

the only way an after market rotor would help is if it has a thicker alloy centre hat that works as a spacer, i doubt an aftermarket rotor would offer less clearance
 
hmm yeh i was there when trial fitting.

i really want these rims...


everything else clears fine apart from that.


argh!
 
its all good ill make it work.

just hope u dont have to go thru it also mate.

atleast i can just give them back and get something else.
 
Yeah i know a risk i had to take everything says they should fit but yeah who knows worst comes to worst maybe i chuck on some spacers
