    It's the issue with the back of the wheel hitting the face of the caliper and you'll get that with a lot of alloys with positive ETs and some dish - it's not solely about the dish so there's another to watch out for.

    The merc calipers are much more compact and better looking - the sharan caliper is nasty.



    Hmmmmm - could you run a standard caliper with 345/330 discs and just an adaptor plate....that'd be cheap and easy diy.......
    That's right, when i refurbed my wheels i put the 17" audi wheels on temporary and i noticed ther scraped the caliper. But ther been on the van when i bought her. Because i put new pads in the caliper moved out. Just enough to scratch the paint.the 19" just got 2mm

      Oh and the google image is not a great example - if you are fortunate to have that nice 0 offset between mountings you should run two thinner plates (one each side of the mounting) rather than one thick one plate.
      Can you explain both comments please Reg? [emoji848]

                        • Thats nice. Simple and clean.
                          Yeah the auto would've killed it....
                          The engine is really strong, think it would be ace with a turbo on it.

                          • Nice looking van Rob , I like the contrast of the silver on the wheels and the side bars .

                              Looks lovely that Rob, What's wrong with the auto boxes? Are they weak and unreliable then, I had the chance to pick up a maroon short nose caravelle on a 1993 L plate, the guy only wanted £1100 but it put me off having the auto box in it !

                              Sell my T4 !!! I'd rather stick wasps up my butt.
