    almost certain i know the answer to this but im in the process of buying brenos to go with these xantia disks i got today.
    it does not look like they are gona fit beind my sparcos.

    they are no where near the spokes as theres a 20mm spacer in there its just the wall that looks to be a massive problem
    anyone with them behind 1.2s let me know how much room they had etc?

    how does that compare to yours space wise. i havnt got anything to compare it to ad dont want to continue with the sale of the brembos if they are not going to fit. its just how far they pertrude from the edge of the disk i need to know really...

    guna say the caliper will go right over the disc if you think about it.
    have you put the caliper on over the disc to see the distance?

    If you look at the pic, it shows the calliper goes over the disk

    iirc they will fit with couple of mm gap.

    i had a quick look before i went to the gym the gap between my disc and the alloy is about 3-4cm, i think you will have to get the caliper and see tbh!
