wheel to disk distance
This afternoon I assembled my front right corner consisting of
tina upright- tina hub- wilwood disk and 4pots-wheel-wheel nuts
from the inside it all looks ok, but from the outside (visible side) it looks like the disk is way too far away from the exterior face of the wheel.
this is the worst description ever, sorry
Is this right? or am i just used to looking at disks which are mounted between the hub and wheel instead of behind the hub like the tina ones.
Obviously this could all be changed with different offset wheels, i can't remember what mine are, I will check tomorrow
any comments, advice or observations???

Shoot us a pic, then we'll know if there appears to be a problem. From the description, though, it sound pretty normal (don't forget, if
you're looking at front-wheel drive cars, the normal wheel offset makes the rotors look like they're closer to the wheels than they are
on rear-wheel drive cars...)

They do look a long way in on Cortina hubs. My mate fitted 15" wheels and you could practically change the pads without taking the wheel off.
With the smaller calipers it will look even emptier.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
