   Hey guys, ad little earch but dn relly find an anwer to ths so just eed it cleared up.
   
   What is the verdit on using the 406 coupé's brembo calipers with 283mm disks under VTS rims?
   
   I know that they are quite fat & need spacers, how big would the spacers need to be & would thy fit diameter-wise? What other modifications would be required too?
   
   Cheers

   Cheers mate, i remember you having a set but the only pics i could find you had em under multispokes. I'll keep an eye out for a set of these, will they need carriers made for them aswell?
