There are some templates available for brake packages so you can check if they fit into wheels. Here are some random ones.

I would also suggest that the inner wheel diameter gets listed aswell as this changes from rim to rim. If anyone does the cardboard cutout thing please take a picture (or two) & post it.

The three pdf's are

1. Endless 6 pot on a 343 rotor.

2. AP CP5555 on a 343 rotor.

3. Alcon as per the data sheet.

yeah inner wheel rim diameter is key. it varies more than you could imagine with different brand wheels in the same 'size'.

troy and I have had this discussion many times, and I've measured a few sets of 17X9s I have. many sort of step down in the center, some are very flat. some rims just go on one sort of angle down from one side to the other (thus you have big step on one side, small step on the other). car wheels are a far more complex shape than you'd think.

but I have generally found, the good, japanese forged wheels have very thin rims, and very good internal diameter.

Thats exactly what i need!

Oh, and someone to donate their rims for measuring

I will willingly trade kidneys or sexual favours for the inner diameter of a Rays RE30, CE28 or Nismo LMGT4 in 17*9".

LOL..i will measure up the 17x 8.5: i have on the yard...will be damn close (LMGT4). And the GT4 and TE37 have more itnernal clearance then the CE28.

There was a thread i started a few years ago on this topic...perhaps rehash it as a lot of people posted their brake setups and wheel types in that thread

Had a look over the 22 pages of threads you've started but cant see it?!

I just measured with a tape measure 420mm inner diam on my 18x10.5" RE30's...

You can forward your sexual favours and kidneys to this address...............

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
