    Default 205 caliper size

    im thinking of looking for some st205 calipers, but i fear that they wont fit inside my 16inch rims, even after making the disc 300mm.

    does anyone know how high a st205 caliper is? ive only got about 350mm of room inside my rims.

    youll need a rim with a wide "X" factor

    Oz racing chrono evolutions are an example, as are racing hart rims ( which I used ) - anything japanese/racing type will usually clear them - otherwise custom rims for youuuu !

    Consider using R32 GTS-T calipers instead of ST205 ones. They are cheaper, just as good and don't protrude as far from the rotor as the ST205 calipers.

    You can see the clearance on my old GT4 below,
