05+ LGT calipers/wheels clearance help

Postby mimz » Fri Aug 31, 2012 12:24 am

Is someone with 05+ LGT able to get me a measurement from the center of the hub/wheel to the tip of the caliper for both the front and rear please. Just want to know if they are able to clear my wheels before i upgrade my brakes.

Also i was told later model 07+ LGT i think have bigger brakes but im not quite sure they are interchangeable with my car as i know the 05 LGT will fit. Any idea?

AFAIK, the GT brakes regardless of model year are the same size standard sliding head 2 pot caliper. On the MY04-MY06 GT the standard brakes fit behind a 17" 5 spoke wheel if that's of any assistance. I can get you a definite measurement tomorrow if you like
