what are the biggest and best brakes you can fit under a 14" wheel mainly be a track car so more track orientated brakes.

Thanks
Matt

266mm discs.
I had them and they had good power to them.
Conveniently I am now selling my setup, calipers, discs and pads ;)
But 266mm is the biggest you can go, tight squeeze under 14s, they do go but clearance is small

depends on make of wheels -fit 5mm spacers --MAX if neded to clear and check wheel bolts are long enough to to screw in min of 8 turns

266mm pug 206 gti brakes are what I have fitted from a 2001, had to grind a bit off the carrier to fit perfectly but stopping power is a hell of lot better now.

Yeah did same on mine. Mines all ready to run.
Have to grind about 2mm off the carriers

ideally you need 5mm-10mm clearnace for everything -- to allow for expansion
if only taken off 2mm to get them to clear --grind some more off

I'm guessing it was about 2mm, probably more.
I ran them for a few months and was spot on. Selling them now tho as sold the car

There are some hi-spec 4 pots that fit under rallye steels too. As I have a set :-).
They also use the 266mm standard discs
