MUZ Member 6 Member For: 15y 4m 30d Gender: Male Posted 30/06/09 07:38 PM Share Posted 30/06/09 07:38 PM Hi Guys Looking at updating my BA to Brembo brake package, what model XR rim should I get to suit a 355mm rotor? Do all 18” rims suit? I have heard that the standard 18’BF rims won’t work, would this be true.Thanks Muz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUZ Member 6 Member For: 15y 4m 30d Gender: Male Posted 02/07/09 11:08 AM Author Share Posted 02/07/09 11:08 AM Thanks I will look into that, but I have already purchased this package. If this works out to be cheaper I will have to sell the other rotors.Muz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 05/07/09 08:48 PM Share Posted 05/07/09 08:48 PM It's not the diamiter of the BF rims which cause them to hit but the inner side of the spokes, BA 18's will clear with about 5mm of room which is plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
