mattyD Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 is anyone on here running 16" drifts with a ksport 6 pot kit?my garage is adament they dont fucking fit and im gna get charged £300 for fuck all! well new ball joints but thats it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 They should with a small spacer. I had to use a 3mm spacer on mine against Wilwood brakes because the spokes go in too much, the K sport caliper is a fair bit bigger though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Apparently it clears the spokes fine, its where the wheel bolts to the hub, apparently the inside of the caliper is now hitting the inside of the wheel :sThey are the exact same wheels as you mate, offset is et10 so surely that would be enough? My et45 wheels cleared the caliper but they were just to small on the inside Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave D Glanza V Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 surprised they dont fit mine fit fine under my 15x7s got the 286mm discs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForgedV Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just get wheels with a deep enough offset or a set of spacers. I did run15" compomotives mo's on mine for a while with no spacers. Put the new actions on and now run 40mm spacers. Spacers are cheaper then a new set of wheels and tyres! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 surprised they dont fit mine fit fine under my 15x7s got the 286mm discsyou cant get rota grid drifts in that size mate Just get wheels with a deep enough offset or a set of spacers. I did run15" compomotives mo's on mine for a while with no spacers.

ForgedV Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 It's wheel design aswel mate like the dish hence why I've got spacers on mine that wide to clear the spokes, the offset is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave D Glanza V Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 mine arnt rotas, was just surprised they dont fit as the rota 16s look massive! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 its not the spoke design thats the problem, its this - Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForgedV Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Only thing I can advise then is spacers mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 that would be the only solution but it would then look ridiculous as they would stick out far to much i think the best bet is to get a bit of the surface ground away on the inside of my existing wheels then the caliper will fit..........................i hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForgedV Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Entirely up to you but if it was my own I wouldn't want to grind away the wheels or calliper. Have you tried a 10mm spacer or anything like that yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pridzz Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'm looking for a set if you get rid - Got 15 rota grid v's with et0 ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 grid v's wouldnt go over the ksports dude, plus these drifts i have are brand new so wouldnt sell them for less than what i paid mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
