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!
Coops
forget last bit! southerner alert! :wink: :P

i thought 14's went straight on a valver? rsi wheels are 14" not 13"
dunno tbh but if they do then why wud renault go to the trouble of diff brakes?
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.
fook it, buy the rsi wheels n try em, if they dont fit sort the brakes! laffin! trial n error is the best way! :wink:
I can try to RSi wheels i ahve in the garden on mine if you want
If not i ahve some Rsi calipers you may purchase, afriad i only have 2 wheels tho, Steve V6 on cliosport has a nicley refurbed set though
