Title: 4 stud zero offset Erco's ?
Post by: Black Sheep on November 18, 2009, 19:11:09 pm
Has anyone tried to fit these bubble Erco's with disc brakes up front ?
 Im thinking about enquiring to see if I can get a pair of these made in Porsche 130 pcd for when I go racing .
 But I think I heard there may be a clearance issue with the caliper ?

Little help here please  :-* ;)

I used 20 mm spacers to clear the caliper AND the balancing lead inside the wheels.

Sven has a set of Porsche pattern zero offset fronts on his car. Search for "Gimini" in the In Da Werks forum. ;)
