302mm brake upgrade

ian2000t · Dec 3rd, 2016, 21:59

So, time for discs and pads again soon, so I think it's time to go for the bigger 302mm (?) V70 brake upgrade on my 760.

Can anyone give me details of this?

I know it will fit behind my 17's (Titans), but can anyone tell me if it will fit behind the 15" Omega's I have for winter wheels? The Omega's are currently fitted with the 25mm spacers that the Titans have to go on, and they fit fine - arch clearance is good. Will this extra clearance be enough for the big brakes or do they still require the wider internal diameter than 15" wheels?

They won't fit under 15". Only some 16" fit also. I have Perfo and they fitted with 25mm spacers. Columba which look very similar don't fit. The write up is in the article section.

I did find that after I posted this. So the Columba's don't even fit with 25mm spacers??

Looks to be loads of clearance behind the Omega's with spacers, but all depends where the high spots are on the calipers/carriers.

Might have to do it when the Titans go back on then, then find some 16" winter tyres and wheels for next year.
