In the near future i am thinking of changing my car to 10 inch wheels, as the now it has 13x7 on drums all round.
I have absolutley no idea of what brakes to buy. i know that the drums will not fit indide the 10's and therefore i must change.
can anyone suggest a set of brakes that will take the 10s and be good quality and good value for money as i am still at school and only have a part time job and i have just paid for the mini to go in for welding and respray so you can say i am a little bit skint .
Any help ?
Thanks in advance.


EDIT: due to me being a tube and using poor grammar lol

10's will fit over drums with maybe a couple of exotic exceptions, and to fit discs you'll be talking £300ish for the cooper s conversion, or find a set of 8.4 driveshafts, flanges and hubs 2nd hand then still £200ish for callipers of some description.

Minispares do their own caliper for 7.5 inch discs now for £80 each. That's where my money will be going!

But yeah, 10's fit on drums. I find drums pretty scary to use though!

why do you find drums scary to use ?

they will fit over your drums, and you could buy some cooper s disks.

I think he is saying they are s*** compared to disks . .

[Jamez26]

thats good tho. and oh i see. i will probably get discs when i can but not the now, funds are tight lol

[joe_m]

you will be ok with drums if you adjust them every so often !

[Jamez26]
