Default biggest brakes for 17inch
I had a quick search but didn't find it. I just find on the search option people saying buy this one or that one.
But could someone tell me which size i can go up to with brake discs or kit which will fit under my standard 17 inch my04/5 wheels before I make a mistake.
thanks

I'm not aware of any BBK you can fit to OEM wheels, other than Tarox.

Any reason for wanting a BBK?

I've got some 330mm ap brakes to fit when I get my car back,I'm hoping I can fit them behind the oe wheels with the help of wheel spacers.

I'd imagine you will need some pretty massive spacers, Steve.

Suspect over 20mm

You need decent wheels to do BBK properly really
