Does anyone have Harrop brakes fitted to their VS?
I’m looking at buying some rims that clear harrop brake callipers so I wanted to see if I could get the measurement from the outer face of the rotor to the outer side of the caliper on the front.
Hope that makes sense.

Which ones? Harrops weren't standard so unsure which your chasing. 2,4,6 pots? What size rotor do they fit or are you retro fitting onto standard rotors.

Harrops that the manufacturer confirmed the rims will clear were 4 pot 343mm.
I have Willwood 6 pot 355mm. They weren’t sure on them.
18” rim will clear it radially but I’m worried about clearance axially
I might need to factor in rotor thickness too? Maybe it’s not as simple a comparison as I was hoping for.

You'll have more of a chance fitting normal 18" rims on the vn-vs as the rotor hat is quite deep.

Yes you'll have to consider spoke and hub design to ensure they fit. Don't aim for a concave design up front and you should almost be right.

If you can get any 18" to test fit so you know what you're up against

The rims I’m getting are senator style aftermarket 18’s. I have 18” Simmons at the moment. They do 19’s as well but I’ll think I’ll stick to 18s.
Thanks for your advice.
