Turbo Mini Forums

first question is do they clear 7.9 vented discs?
second question is 165/70/10 ao32r yokos on a 7x10? too much stretch?

First question, not a clue.

Second question, id be comfortable with that

1st no they dont you would have to run a 17mm spacer or bigger

What are you wanting to clear 7.9vented discs??

Edited by cossierick on 5th Oct, 2010.

basically ive got some exacton im getting converted to 6.5's ive decided on now. and want to know if they will clear my 7.9 vented minisport 4pot set up

Ahh, sorry i didnt realise thats what the special wheels were called like on si's car, ive got a set to convert aswell, might have to check if they will fit on my 8.3's an 6pots, my normal force 10's do.

So for your questions i think are yes and yes.

Rick

ok i dunno what munn racing is on about then. its just i dont want to get them converted if there not going to clear my brakes.

Just pm si, hes running carls wheels as pic just check exactly what set up hes running

rick

I think (Think) that its down to the caliper clearing the inner lip on the wheels, the ones I have seen have a stepped inner section. The TFM thread shows they wont clear the fiesta brakes, but they catch the caliper not the disc

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

yer ive pm;d him already. well be good to find out :)

Most of the confusion is porbably down to the fact you didn't make it clear at the beginning you were planning on using Carl's splitties, rather than just standard Exactons.

Be more specific in what you're asking and give us all the information and you're less likely to get a bum steer.

In theory it wont make a difference weather there standard or split'ed, as its only the front thats add'ed so back of the wheel stays the same.

rick

Yes, Rick, 100% correct.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

yer i didnt need to say about them being conversion to splits as all it is doing is adding a dish on the outside edge which has nothing to do with brake clearance. aslong as there exacton wheels clear the brakes which si has confirmed as he is running the exact set up i am. then its fine. i could go 10x10 and it wouldnt make a differance to brake clearance just arch clearance and tyre probloms. as for the tyre question i did say 7x10 which i have decided agaist and am going for 6.5x10

Aologies - I'd assumed Carl made them into a 3 piece split which, with a spun inner, would obviously affect clearance.

I purposely didn't aswer the question though as I'll admit I didn't know one way or the other!

haha fair enough. nope he just machines the the front of the wheel, taps them and fits the outer rim

if you have the setup why not mock build them?

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

because i dont have the wheels. the wheels are going to be going straight from richard to carl. no point sendint them to me then paying to send them to car l again. otherwise i would do this :(

sorry to bring this back up but im just going to order some brakes now and still havnt found a answer to this question.

do 7.9 vented brakes fit under mini special wheels (exactons)

Get a single unmodified wheel and mock up. That is the only way to know 100% they will fit your actual bits. A single wheel can be had for £10-15 if you look around. Also useful to have as a spare anyway.

i run as set of 6x10 exacton force racing splits with a032r tyres. brakes are 7.9" vented discs with minisport 4 pots and mine clear. there is only a small gap, but they clear.

balls to the blower!!!

I have wheels and no brakes ATM. I have 5 wheels. I'm going to get 7.9 minisport vented well if they clear which 2 people have now confirmed

Also the mini spares calipers are mean't to be better than the mini sport ones as they have 2 bleed screws instead of one.
