Anyone got 15's over st170 brake setups ?

Postby boost master on Wed Nov 17, 2004 10:26 pm

I have the focus st170 brake setup on the front of my FRST and currently have 17 inch wheels on the car. I want to get rid of the 17's and try and get some 15 inch wheels back on there, Can anyone help ???

Many thanks

Dont think they fit mate.

I think you need at least 16's for ST170 brakes.

Actually thinking about it you might get away with 15's but i think you gotta machine the calliper down
Too old and too bald.

I think it's the caliper mounting bracket that's different, so you need to make some kind of adapting plate to bring the caliper in or, as Si says, use 16s. Not sure though, do a search mate.
