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...

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

So any ideas as to what my alloys are? It says volvo in the center so they must be standard??? All the other t5's I've seen like mine have the alloys pictured in t5 stealths post....

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

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.

Don't think you can fit 302 discs with these without modification. This accessories brouchure (http://vccs.volvocars.se/accessoriesLegacy/pdf/X70.pdf - page 873) has note for Persus:
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

Cheers bud, ill whip my spare out and see if it measures up. Thanks
