Brake Reduction/shaving

[fattox33]

hey guys,

Another weird question about brakes.

A mate of mine has R33 brakes upgraded on his R32, but where the large, bulky round bit is in the centre of the caliper (where the nissan logo sits) his has been ground back to sit flush with the rest of the caliper...

Has anyone else done this before? I hate the clearance i have to deal with when looking at rims, i want maximum dish! especially when my cross factory +60mm wider rear guards get here, i don't want to run much offset, i want huge dish!

Just curious if anyone else here has done it or would recommend alternative options??

Cheers

You can still get deep dish wheels that will clear 99% of brakes though?

You can shave the lettering, but you'll only get an extra 2mm of clearance/2mm of dish.... I wouldn't image that would make a difference especially if you're adding +60mm guards?

fair enough, not actually sure what brakes he had on R32 because he was able to get like 10mm off them?!

sounds scary, the amount hes shaved off.

but you really shouldnt have troubles finding wheels that clear your calipers if your going as far as 60mm further out anyways.
