JCW Brakes with 16" X-lites

[wigley]

Just a quick question - has anyone got the JCW brakes with 16" X-lite wheels? I'm trying to find out if the wheels will fit with these bigger brakes?

Cheers

Thanks rentagas. Its very confusing. I've got the yellow sheet that came with the brakes that mentions an R94 wheel (which doesn't appear to exist). My dealer says that the only 16" wheel they fit is the R87 double spoke (which is not a pretty wheel). :P

Oh well, I guess I'll stick with 17" for now

I had the jcw brakes as fitted to the challange cars and they do fit with the X-lites as long as you fit I think 8mm spacers, best to ring and speak to one of John Cooper works Technicians

the challenge kit is different..........................(and possibly better)

I have X-lites (R84) fitted to my MY05 JCW MCS and they are used as daily driver wheels.
there are no spacers, just wheels and the JCW brakes (installed 2/11/05) Only other issue I am still not confirmed on is as to whether there is a cooling issue instead of a clearance issue (ie more clearance needed for the vented discs to actually get the heat out) more time will tell.

I have been trying to find the same answer and finally just ordered 16" Kosei K1 wheels and am praying they will fit. I expect that with spacers that they will.
