Hi guys

Some of you may know that I'm building a Fiat Marea turbo
I have a problem with the Brembo caliper

Recently refirbed the callipers
Went to test fit and ruined them
Dont understand wht ???????

I have used genuine 20v turbo hubs
20v turbo wheels
Brembo calipers
Is there something i have missed ?????

Any help would be appreciated as the cars set up is as factory for a coupe 20v turbo

The hub carrier must be different then, as the calipers mount on the hub carrier.

Where about is the caliper touching the wheel? (On the side touching the spokes or the outside touching the inner rim)

Did the discs go on ok?

that's why then , the disc will push the wheel out further so it shouldn't touch the caliper .

I was quite puzzled by this until I read that last post, I'm ashamed to say I laughed out loud shocked

Of course the wheel will hit the caliper without the disc fitted, look at the thickness of the disc, that's how much your wheel will be spaced out with them fitted.
