ive just brought a set of brembo calipers and was wondering whats the biggest disks used under 17"wheels? thank you

It will vary from wheel to wheel. 330mm will clear just fine. If you feel the need for such big stoppers I'm assuming you have some grunt to play with? In which case I wouldn't be fitting 17's

cheers mate, im building a 2.1 zetec turbo and hoping to push around 350bhp poss, but no point having power if the car cant handle or stop o i brought a nice set off stoppers but now need to search for nice wheels that the brakes will fit under lol, cheers mate

Well a good friend of mine is circa 400bhp on his home built Zetec Turbo and running on 15's with 4x4 Cossie brakes. Although he does have some Focus RS Brembo's but won't be fitting them if he can't get them under the 15's

330mm brkes and brembos on a fiesta! youl pull it into the tarmac. lock up at the slightest poke of the pedal.

its not going onto a fiesta its going onto a mk3 escort, i dont see why it should lock up its like and accelerator you are in control of the pedal it only does what you make it do

You didn't say you were doing an Escort

Get the 17's on and see what you are like for clearance. I run Focus ST170 brakes on my own 256bhp track car S2 and they have so far stood up to everything I've chucked at them. Would think 330mm would be more than ample

330 or something around that was what i was hoping, whats the best hub to use on an escort? is the s1/ s2 thicker than a 1.1 hub as ive picked up a pretty mint 1.1 shell with 47,000 miles on the clock to turbo, its an rs1600i rep and am thinking id want to change hubs if they are different? cheers
