You would need the bigger 304mm discs. This means that you can only use a limited number of MGF/TF 16" wheels. It also means your braking is mainly front balanced. TBH, even though it was MGRs idea, it is not a wholly satisfactory solution.

An alternative is the upgrade that I will be trialling very soon. This includes 280 mm discs all round and better callipers front and rear. This upgrade will fit beneath all 15 and 16" MGF/TF wheels!

Watch this space!

i want a better breaking solution under my 15", i think its silly i can get 310mm disks and 6 pot calipers under my Lotus' 15" wheels but they disks are so small on the MG...

need a better solution!

See this thread. BRAKE UPGRADE

i'll be one of the first to buy these kits, 6 pots on the front and 4 on the back will be the only trhing stopping my 10 grand crotch rocket hitting the seanery

but i do want some 4 pot APs for my ZR asap so if anyone sees a deal too good to pass up let me know

Have seen these and the price is quite low atm. Anyone know what wheel this is and if it will accomadate an ap upgrade?

Depends on the offset as the AP is a very big caliper. Without knowing the offset of these wheels it would be difficult to know

Honestly, I don't know whether those wheels will fir over the Aps. Sorry, but I've never seen that type before.

pass, the only after market alloys i know of that fit over APs are mine (team dynamincs 1.2Rs)

i would have tought these would sell much cheaper than my wheels but if they sell for more than 150 quid (assuming they have good tires) i'd save my money and get Team Dynamics

there fantastic quality and very light weight (i can imagine TSWs weighing about as much as a victorian bridge)

If you have hub adapters then 17" MG straights fit over AP's if that helps

and Eta Beta 18"
