Stevo Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi - I'm considering going to a UK brake set up and need to know if my Ultralite GT-II wheels will clear them. Anyone close by with UK brakes willing to let me try a wheel on their car please? Cheers Peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah mate 18". 8.5" front width and 9.5" rear - off the top of my head they're 35 offsets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I tried my old set of ultralites and they fitted over some k sport 8 pots, so they'll definately clear uk's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hmmmmm....K-Sports...... DO it I got 8 pot 356mm fronts and 4 pot 356mm rears, IMO far better than UK brakes if you can afford them.

Stevo Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Remember I drive an NA though - not too sure about throwing good money away if not entirely needed. I do need new discs and pads all round though and hence started wondering if now is the time to make an upgrade. Been looking at the UKs MagicTorch has got up for sale and sorely tempted.

ManwithSupra Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Remember I drive an NA though - not too sure about throwing good money away if not entirely needed. I do need new discs and pads all round though and hence started wondering if now is the time to make an upgrade. Been looking at the UKs MagicTorch has got up for sale and sorely tempted. Ah yeah fair enough, UK setup will probably be better then along with CW pads. UK's are a good upgrade Also consider that tyres play a huge role in braking. The better the grip of the tyre, the quicker it will help you to stop... that’s when the bigger brakes come into play... More grip will give you more braking force being applied to the Discs and Pads which leads to Increased heat which ultimately equals Brake fade. Bigger brakes do help you to stop quicker but mainly they are to reduce fade and improve repeated brake performance.

Stevo Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just wanted to say a big thanks to Jurgen for offering to let me try my wheels on some of his stock today - cheers mate proper club spirit. Pleased to be able to know 100% that both my sets of wheels clear the UK brakes; Braids (easily) and the Ultralite GT-IIs (just). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
