I want to know if 14" mk series wheels will fit over 1.8 brakes. Im trying to decide whether or not Im going to sell my 13" DRWs and if the SSRs fit over 1.8 brakes I will have no need for my steelies. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys
are you missing the MK1,2,3 or mesh etc as you just state MK?
also depends on the offset as well, i had a set of mesh on mine with 1.8 brakes 14x6.5 et26
i think if you had a low offset set you would struggle to clear 1.8 brakes
more specifically mkIs in 14x9 ET0
IIRC...no, regardless of offset and width, it wont fit. I think the MK1-2-3 series are practically 0 disk?
Mike has a set of 14s on his car, and went from 1.8 to 1.6 brakes just to use his MKIIs

well i know harry from slamburglars is running 13x8 mkIIs in the front and 13x7.5 mkIIIs in the rear with 1.8 brakes but he has to run spacers.
yes, there is a certain part of the inner barrel that comes up and rubs. even on the 1.6 brakes... I would know. I imported those wheels over here.

meh, looks like ill have to run spacers. thanks man
If you mean me, then yes I switched over to the 1.6 brakes and even machined the knuckles on the calipers to make them fit properly.Originally Posted by Coupeloop
Of course you could always use wheel spacers
