will pepperpots fit over xr2i brakes?!?!

Postby XR2i dude on Wed Feb 06, 2008 11:49 am

hey guys.. just a heads up before i buy some pepperpots into if theyll fit over standard discs....

they are 13's
standard xr2i wheels are 14's...

the car is lowered 60mm but that shouldnt be an issue im told..
standard size discs and no spacers on..(altho running mintex extreme setup.. all the standard size)

will these go on?!?!??!

thanx in advance for you help guys.

I would say yes as the early XR2i's came with 13" wheels, but don't hold me to it!

standard xr2i alloys are 13" on the cvh :) so yes, pepperpots will fit over the brakes fine

for things like that they are ideal, thought you were going to swap over to them permanently!

you can get nice sticky tyres in 13" as well ;)

Mk3 setup is 240mm. If you've upgraded the wheel might not go on.

As has been said, the standard MK3 disc size is 240mm and XR2 pepperpots will fit over them. If they are 260mm though (the size I happen to have), you will have no chance in getting any 13" wheels over them - They're pretty close with 14s!
