Bbk Wheel Clearance

Recommended Posts

Evening all, haven't been on here for ages, got a question that I need answered regarding the porsche bbk and wheel clearance.

I have Mov-it/Porsche 993TT calipers on the front and im looking to change from 18" Pegs. Would an 18" x 8" OZ SuperLeggera with an offset of ET38 clear them without the use of spacers?

hmmm... my Volvo pegs are 38, I'm pretty positive. I can check tomorrow, I have the right front off while I'm doing the oil pan replacement

Anyone actually have any experience with SuperLeggeras and Porsche BBK??? Does Yellow95 still visit here, iirc he had both on his red estate?

My genuine pegs are ET46, replica pegs in the UK are ET43 (wont clear without spacers) and my OZ SuperTs are ET41 (wont clear without spacers).

Yellow95 has Ultraleggeras, they are the new version of the Superleggera. I don't know of anyone with Superleggeras on a Volvo. You also have to consider that offset isn't everything, spoke design will also affect caliper clearance. This is demonstrated by your own post, even though pegs have a 46mm offset (closer to car) they fit over the caliper, while the Superturismo with a lower offset doesn't fit.

I know RJ240 just put on 993TT brakes with 17" OEM pegs with NO spacers needed. I hope thats right, as my 993TT BBK is going on monday with OEM 17" pegs.

Superleggera with Mov'it's, no spacers.

Damn it, I thought I was the only one with Mov-it calipers lol.

Ive also made a mistake, the wheels are not SuperLeggeras, they are in fact UltraLeggeras with an offset of ET38. Same question still applies, with this offset, will they clear the calipers.

Yes, Gary (Yellow95) has them on his red wagon.
