What 15" alloys have you got over your ksports (286mm)


Recommended Posts

As above really I've currently got 16" rota auto x alloys over mine with 20mm spacers to clear the brakes, but I wana go down to 15" alloys so just wondering what 15" alloys and offset people with ksports are using?

Someone i know has some huge 6-8pot brakes like 290+mm on their civic they have a set of rays CE28 8 spoke wheels. Obviously the offset needs to be correct, we tried my wheels but the high off set meant the calipers hit the spokes on my wheels

The CE28's fit over big brakes nice bceause of the spoke design is further outward, where as the grid drifts have the spokes inwards leaving not much room the the caliper. It's not really the disc size thats the problem, as proven with the wilwood 4 pots which use the 280mm disc.

I've managed to get slipstreams over my pretty big WMS brakes, not quite as extreme as ksports but reckon there's enough room under them for ksports

To be fair we made the WMS kits as low-profile as we could, as for most cars adding wheel spacers wrecks the handling.



A lot of mrfs "sneak" a wheel spacer into their kits by having a thicker flange on an alloy bell......pretty underhand and worth checking for as you'll need longer bolts/studs if you have a kit like this!
