Hi,
I am looking at 2 possible Willwood kits for my E30 BX26A 280mm discs with Dynalite Cailpers or BX26D 280mm discs with Midilite calipers. The Dynalite ones sticks out 24mm from the face edge of centre hub and Midilite sticks out 31mm from the face edge of centre hub with the disc in place.

Would anyone know how much the standard caliper sticks from the face edger centre of the hub?

I have Lenso BSX 17" with ET35 offset I would like to understand if my wheels will fit on any of the above kits and advise if any spacers are required with thickness.

The 280mm kit fits under a standard BBS 15 if that's of any help? If you have to fit spacers look for proper bolt on hubcentric ones if you have to increase it that much.

and you can use the discs from a mk2 golf g60,

also you can get the from mtech brakes for about £65 a pair.

also if you need to use bugger spacers then look into a stud conversion.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
