do the 15" SSR mesh clear the R33 setup tho?

do the 15" SSR mesh clear the R33 setup tho?

Threw the 15" ssr's both LeeRoys and mine and theyre the same. The caliper hits on the wheel about 2" from the center of the 3 piece on the inner rim. The wheel actually steps up about 1" inward for the wheel trough and about 1" further inwards is where the caliper makes contact by approx 1mm but its enough to make the wheel not turn when bolted up.

The caliper makes contact right at the join of the two halves and only just makes contact. The marks where it was rubbing went along this line and were only about 3mm wide.

If you had a rim that was near negative offset then it probably wont hit as mine didnt when i had the other wheels on the front of the rolla. Either way its something that would need to be checked beforehand.

To overcome the problems here you could probably linish the caliper down by a few mm without any dramas but it would depend on your wheels. On the ssr's we put on there you would need 1" spacers or larger to get clearance but otherwise the spacers are not an option. Taking a bit of meat of the caliper should pose no dramas but this is something that needs to be done carefully and with as little as possible removed.

If we were making new brackets another option would be to move the caliper closer to the hub by the 3 or so mm required for clearance and then take a few mm off the diameter of the rotor.

The camera has died in the arse but picsof everything tomorrow hopefully.

And heres the larger calipers and where they were scrubbing. The mark closest to the camera was where the caliper was scrubbing. The second mark is where the ssr's off Lindens rolla stepped up and where other wheels would need to step up in order to clear

Well RTXXX hubs will solve the 3piece nut scrape issues +3mm easily.

Sif you can get your arse down to pickies

Im pretty sure there is none down there atm however i really need some aswell!

good job leeroy!

there looking very sweet.

probably a goo idea to stick with a 16" rim, as if i buckle a rim at the track it will most likely take out the caliper aswell, good to have SOME clearance

cheers,. blake

So did you find some rt132 hubs linden?

tested them yet?

[The Real Roadrunner]

nope but fixed it another way, more machining but got it sorted.
its something ill have to keep in mind for any simmons but pretty much all jap rims will be sweet.

cheers

Out of interest..... Who made the caliper brackets ?

[twentyEight]

The man 1 post above your's...

[LeeRoy]

He designed them but outsourced the machine work
