Hi
I've popped over from the Chimaera forum to see if you chaps can answer a question relating to wheel sizes
I have a five stud conversion waiting to go on and a choice of 16" cerbera wheels and 18" spiders, I also have 322mm disks and Tvr calipers.
So my question is will the 16" wheels fit over the 322mm brakes and calipers?
I would like to stick with the smaller wheels if at all possible and would like to know in advance so I can get the tyres sourced
Cheers

I don't think the 322mm disc's with the related calipers will fit in the 16inch wheel, but I could be wrong.

I run 322mm disks under 16" Oz Saturn wheels for sprinting, however the critical component that determines the fit is the caliper spacer. Mine are made to fit, standard ones will probably not allow a fit.

If you want to do a test, I have a set of TVR 16" Spiders that came off my last Cerbera... I'm in Hitchin which I think isn't too far from you....

Top answer! Well done that man, I can get my spacer machined if necessary
