do i have to change my supersports rims to drop HSV Brakes on

[SV6.07]

i have 20" Supersports. am thinking of dropping HSV Brakes onto it. or can anyone recommend what brakes would be the best. . the standard brakes don't seem to pull up that well even with new pads. so i i do have to change wheel was thinking of dropping on Pentagons seen a few hsv with them. look good. thought it would look good on mine.

thanks in advance.

I think Walky do brakes that fit underneath the standard wheels but I dont know the price, would imagine they would cost a bit tho

Here u go no price listed tho

I would think that they'll fit seeing as I told the 18inch SS wheels fit over the rear HSV brakes

The rears might but I still don't think the hsv fronts will fit the super sports. I think they might be different offset or something then the hsv wheels. But I'm sure someone on here can give u a more correct answer

Wakinshaw do this as said but why would you go and pay double to "WANKISHAW" when almost all Holden tunres can do brakes, Harrop & PBR do them as well.... shite even Pedders will do HSV AP / Brembo brake upgrades @ 2/3rds the cost of having done at fricken rippoff Wankishaws.

Brembos or HSV (AP) wont fit under your wheels, so if you want to keep your wheels youll need to get something like Harrop which are expensive, if you dont mind changing wheels then the redline brembos are 1600 or 2nd hand HSVs are 2000-2500...
so youre pretty much gonna be out of pocket a fair bit with either choice

HSV wheels 36p front and 56p rear, there's a 09 VE clubsport stinding on 18's all round on HSV brakes so I can't see the issue's.

If there Supersport wheels are 36p there shouldn't be an issue.

Could always just do the brembo upgrade I was reading on here a guy with a black SS sedan done the up-grade for $1600

Just noticed this so maybe im worng try asking a HSV rep

I got quoted for a set of 18" wheels for track day use, so I wouldn't think there would be a issue unless it's to do with offset and mine runs the AP Racing brakes.

i repeat, HSV AND redline brembos will not fit behind supersports full stop... each Holden wheel is slightly different, its the clearance between the face of the caliper and the wheel spokes thats the killer, so even if you calculate its offset and think it will fit, you could be disappointed!

Coming from Subarus. It is the same. It does not matter about offsets.

It all comes down to the design of the spokes and how much clearance there is behind them.

I am looking at a set of Alcon brakes in the future and will have the same problem.
