treblet Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Sell the wheels and get ones that will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Don't downgrade brakes.You could change to 239mm Willwoods or something, better braking and smaller brakes, smiles all round. Expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 u must be completely mental if u want to stick 1.0 litre brakes on, its completely backwards1 quick search on here and you would have realised classics wouldnt fit a sportsell them find some wheels that do fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt~black Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 kick them on and just drive it something will wear down eventualy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Tbh I think Willwoods with 239s would still foul. Theres not much gap between the calipers on 1.0L brakes and the wheels. I'm sure Willwoods will be larger and probably still foul them. I would consult your insurance company though. I'm not sure how they'd take it if you said you were downgrading the brakes. If you don't let them know and somethings happens you would probably be ****ed. Even if your the safest driver in the world doesn't mean someone behind you isn't paying attention and slams into the back of your car!
