Evening , I've not got the calipers through yet , but I've just had a quick offer up of the nova discs ...... and I've got about 2 1/2" inch clearance all round .... will this be enough ? ( she sits on revolution wheels and 275/50R15 tyres ) .
cheers .. Hagar

Evening , cant check till I get the hubs and discs back , I'm using nova discs and golf calipers ( was told they were off of a 1.8 gti ). Do you think I should invest in some longer studs ? .
cheers .. Hagar

Hiya, a very quick check of my trike's arse end says the caliper stands about 2 inches up from the edge of the disc. I'm running 15 inch alloys. I used 1 1/4 inch spacers from SpeedShack, (their details are in the Links for Commercial Purposes bit of the forum), to space the wheel away from the disc & caliper to give some extra clearance. The spacers come with stud extensions. Check the thread on my trike frame in General Discussion for photos & descriptions of everything on my trike so far.
