Remember those 18" Racing Hart multipiece CRs that I splashed out on a while back? The deal of the century?
Hurrah!  Remember we discussed the old "clearing the calipers" thing? Ah. Bugger.  Bugger bugger bugger bugger bugger.  And further more, bugger. I tried 5mm shims. Not even close. I tried 10mm shims. No dice. I can comprehensively say that 18x8 racing Hart CRs do not fit on a ST205. The brakes on this thing are stupidly big. This is only a bad thing when you have damn near 2 grand of wheels and tyres you're trying to fit. Which is a shame, because they looked rather good. Flat spokes seem to be the problem. Can anyone suggest a decent set of wheels that are strong, light and we know clear the brakes? And would suit a red ST205? I'm about to open a beer. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |
