940 Brake Upgrade With 302mm Discs - Wheel choice

Thanks for looking to see if the 15" wheels fit. I thought the rim itself would hit the caliper unless it was spaced out enough and I only have the Aries wheels that came off of it to test.
I've got a 16" spare already to use as a spare but was interested in using 15" wheels for snow tyres but you are right about the offset. It might not notice with narrow winter tyres though.

No sorry, they're not mine. I'll mention it to the owner though.

I think you'd find the steering was very heavy and it would tramline something chronic. But you could always give it a go, maybe I'm just being over-cautious. 850 wheels are definitely worth trying though.

Thanks again for checking the wheels. I would have done it and added it to the article but I just don't get enough time.

Talking about wheels I spotted one of the Peugeot RCZ coupe. These have 5x108mm PCD and a slightly more RWD friendly offset OF 27mm apparently. Not sure of the width but they are 17" diameter.
I was hoping that they did steel spares but unfortunately they only have cans of jollop to get you home.

Hi!

Saw your 302mm brakes wheel firment post. Nobody here in sweden "knows about" this conversion.
I wonder if the galaxy wheels may fit with a 20mm spacer? they are my winter wheels.
