Cyrix Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 OK, called my mechanic today, he tells me my RS2000 brakes fitted perfectly, all bled and working..............But them Wheels dont fit and i cant get the B*stard off my ramps now!!!!!!!! So ive got to finish work ealry today, get a mate to rush over to my lockup and get a set of wheels which are a bit deeper!!!! Ones from an Orion Ghia should fit i think, New need another set of alloys lol. Thanks to the people who said they would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrix Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 260mm disks - Bendix calipers? same as on the XR3i, S2 RST even has the same size disks so i can only assume the hub assemblys different on the Mk4's and the caliper/disk is spaced further back.
