What is the largest big brake kit to fit under Titans?
I want to keep my standard 17inch Titan alloy wheels and fit a larger brake kit but the wheels don’t look like they give much clearance. Anyone running an aftermarket kit that will fit under these wheels?
Thanks |

If it's the genuine Titans then depending on how big the calipers are there normally ok.
Between these and Pegasas wheels seem to be the more forgiving ones with extra space for such things.

You’ll get a set of APs 5200s on 330mm discs. That’s about your lot under 17s. Very effective.
https://www.part-box.com/ap-brake-ki...-cp5200-1005r2 Brembo calipers tend to be to fat for the offset iirc.(Big reds?) someone will need to confirm. Sadly bigger brakes normally = bigger wheels. 18” pegs will accommodate a bigger set up & look very similar to titans at a glance. Google. It’s your friend. Loads of threads on bbk options for the 850, DIY and off the shelf. Spend money on good pads. Best pound for pound brake upgrade. Try carbotech, considered by many to be the king kiddie: http://www.carbotech-europe.com/ Cheers, morgan Last edited by Shinsplintz 101; Apr 14th, 2019 at 07:09. |

Thanks for the replies,very helpful.
I’ve used Carbotech XP8 on an M3 before, very good. I did see conversion parts for sale in the US to allow fitment of Wilwood calipers and 330 S60R discs. |

Out of interest, would your Titans fit my 1997 V70 T5 ?

All depends on which end of the telescope you're looking:
From the thick end... For road use - Plod managed fine. You'll never need more than Police spec. brakes. You won't be talented enough, because if you were, you wouldn't be on here, and at the speeds where you'll see a difference, won't keep a licence anyway. From the thin end... For race: If you want to go fast, and it was the OP that taught every other F1 driver to press a pedal, then we're talking the wrong car. A rare talent knows this. What is he doing on here? Talent as this is wasted with such questions. I for one, lay prostrate at the OP's feet. Please give hints to the mere mortals here, on how to come even close to such talent, and how to keep a licence using it. I paid £280 last year for insurance, tell us how yours is lower.
