On my wish list for my t5 is the 302mm brake disc conversion but I've read you can only do it with certain standard alloys. Are mine ok? I know they're not columba alloys but I have no idea what they are...

What is the rim size?
ooops
ooops
16" they are.
i've got Columba's & Perfo's so can measure the inside diameter for you, if your diameter is the same/greater as the Perfo's then they'll fit
i think they can i used to have some on my v70 t5 with 16" wheels
it does depend on the wheel, they won't fit under 850 T-5 16"sQuote:

i think they are called persus.

dont think!!!! you can put em under columbas sure i've read that before, and the ones in t5 stealths aint columbas but look similar i know i had one given to me a while back it was of an ex plod 850 think they use them cos they will take the bigger brakes but dont quote me :)Quote:

and 16 not 17
850 t5 rim is these....columba
The columba and perfo wheels could have been seperated at birth? lol I think you're spot on about persus ones, they look identical. Cheers lads. Inside diameter of the perfo's (I think they are the ones that take the bigger discs) would be brilliant if possible :) Thanks, Danny.
perfos are the ones i mentioned earlier mate.:)Quote:

Quote:
NOTE! Cannot be fitted to cars equipped with 16" front
brakes (disc diam: 302 mm).
just been out with the tape measure. Columba's has an internal diameter of a constant 14", while the Perfo's taper from 15" on the edge to 14" near the inner face of the wheel
i agree as i stated before had this combo on my 1999 v70 T5 seQuote:
