Brakes are not the same size. The RSi brakes are slightly smaller. I've not checked to see if a smaller wheel will fit over the discs but I can check with some 13" steelies I have in the garage tomorrow if no one else can confirm by then. It will give an idea anyway as the RSi wheels are 14" iirc.

I know winston has 13's on his, but I don't know if he is still on the original brakes.

That would be of great help mate......Thanks.

Might pm winston and ask him the question, if he gets back to me i will pm you to save you a wheel swop job....

to fit RSi wheels mate you'll need RSi CARRIERS and discs for your front set up, the calipers will fit fine with the smaller carriers. thats how winston fits his 13's on. i have same set up on mine n all so i cud put smaller wheels on. we like to call em 5 turbo brakes tho (same as rsi but better name! :wink: )

in fact where u based i'd be willing to trade up, you come to me or i come to you and straight swap!

i thought 14's went straight on a valver? rsi wheels are 14" not 13"

I cant see why it wouldnt fit, on the basis that winston has 13's with rsi calipers and there is space with the 15s so i cant see why it wouldnt work.
