    Default Brakes and Rim sizes

    Hey Guys,

    Just after some advice regarding Brake and rim sizes, planning to do an upgrade on the vs for track days events,
    At the moment ill be running 16" rims on it daily, so this should be fine for the 298mm rotors, however the 322mm VE VE upgrade is only a little extra - which i wouldnt mind getting, would i able to fit 322mm rotors behind 16" rim? i know the VE run a 16" rim so dont see why not (ebay says 17" minimum?). these are the kits in mind if someone could shed some light

    VR VS COMMODORE FRONT BRAKE UPGRADE KIT TO 298mm DISCS - eBay Discs, Brakes, Car, Truck Parts, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 16-Oct-10 20:49:05 AEDST)

    from what i have seen you will not fit the larger brakes behind 16s i helped another forum member do the VE upgrade to his VS ute and they barely fit behine the 17s im pretty sure theyre the larger ones, NOT_AN_ABBA_FAN sells these kits(i think he still does) you might get a more detailed response from him
