#1: 406 Brembo issue Author: jonnyg2k5, Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2014 6:33 am ---- Just fitted a pair of 406 Brembo calipers to my GTI (138) and have used Xantia v6 Calipers 288mm. When I have come to refit the wheel (16" Nimrod) it will not fit as hits the caliper.
I presume I will need a spacer between hub and wheel? Anyone know whats the best size thickness to use for this setup?

Smallest size it can clear is better. Only think I can said 16 mm is smallest spacer size you need for GTI180 alloy with 406 Brembo. You can walk over here.
The hubcentric spacers look good but there seem to be cheaper options (like £30 cheaper).....
For £8 quid on ebay you can get 10mm spacers they dont have a collar on to fit in the centre of the wheel - are these OK to use?

y?
Whole weight of the car is placed on the bolts instead of being carried by the hub/rim centre hole (and the bolts more or less just keeping the wheel on).

#9: Re: 406 Brembo issue Author: JamieM, Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 2:36 am ---- I think I'll need some hubcentrics to fit my Brembo's the calipers look like they might touch my 16" Turinis... brrr
#10: Re: 406 Brembo issue Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 1:41 pm ---- cant fit 406 brembos without spacers you can with the seat leon brembos using a custom bracket
#11: Re: 406 Brembo issue Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2014 3:36 am ---- Ah I didn't know that, that's annoying. With my old Saxo they were a straight bolt on behind 15's for some reason I was under the impression for the 206 they were a direct bolt on without the need for spacers.
Cheers for the info!

#13: Re: 406 Brembo issue Author: jonnyg2k5, Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2014 6:17 pm ---- Thanks for all the replies, I will get hubcentric ones. I'm kind of guessing at 20mm spacers even though I have measured with a rule anyone have any experience with the sizes required for 16" 206 Nimrods over 406 brembos?
