Do these brakes fit the sierra hubs or need to be turned down?

I'm at the stage of ordering my brakes and have already got a lot of information and suggestions but just to be sure.

Is it possible to fit these on my MK indy sierra rear and front hubs? Or should they be turned down to 134mm? I already have some disc uprights for the rear.

And could someone tell me the outside radius "E radius" of the braking system with these 260mm discs. I'm only able to find the 273,1mm and up sizes for the midilites while rally design offers them with 260mm discs. As I want to be able to fit 13" wheels on them.

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure the ones in the rally design link are being sold as a front brake set only

the 260x24mm vented discs in that kit are consistent with the standard sierra brake disc's for cars with ABS and the XR4i etc... check with them first but I be they are just the standard sierra discs (or drilled / grooved versions of the standard ones)
on the sierra you would normally have a 253mm solid disc on the rear with smaller calipers



but these are far more powerful that is really needed for a lightweight car - in cact rally design sell a front brake kit for sierra donor based cars using a solid 257mm disc to save weight

You'd be better off with the PowerLite kit, depending on your application.

That is a front kit, you definitely don't need vented midlites on the rear
