Default Help with k sport brakes

Hi, am thinking of getting some k sport brakes for the front of my classic impreza. They will have to fit under 16 inch wheels. I know the 304mm kit will fit but wonder if anyone in the Sussex area has the 330mm kit so I could offer my wheel up to them to see if it will fit. Thanks.

I reckon you should save weight for the quarter mile sprint and not have any brakes at all

The AP 4Pot 330s only just fit under 17's so I'd be amazed if you could get 330s of any type under 16s!

330mm is 13' so you only have 1.5' clearance on the outer 0f the rim, That's not much room to fit in a calliper and the rim itself!

you "may" get them under a competition style wheel as these have a far better inner rim clearance than more regualr road type wheels...........

a lot of competition cars use 300-310mm brakes on a 15" gravel wheel............
