New brakes fitted

Just wondering if Daz has yet found out that he actually still has 11.5mm clearance when going from 283mm to 300mm disks, not the 3mm he calculated?
He had 20mm clearance with 283mm disks, so if he increases the disk diameter by 17mm to 300mm, he will increase the radius by 8.5mm, thus reducing his clearance by only 8.5mm
I have 324mm disks and quite neat Bremsport callipers, by which I mean they have quite a small profile. Looking at them, I have often wondered if a carefully chosen style of 16 inch wheel would fit, rather then the 17s I have.
If anyone is planning a brake upgrade this spring and wants to test this sort of thing out, please get in touch.
I run 324mm discs under 16" Estorils, very close and with a spacer they fitHe had 20mm clearance with 283mm disks, so if he increases the disk diameter by 17mm to 300mm, he will increase the radius by 8.5mm, thus reducing his clearance by only 8.5mm
