i went to change the discs on the car today as the lad i bought them off had new ones in the back(258mm).the ones that are on the car are drilled and grooved(285mm).they calipers had a sort of spacer attached to bring the carrier further out to compensate for the bigger disc.when i went to put the new disc on(258mm)the carrier then wouldnt fit to the hub.was wondering if A i will need to get different carriers or B try and source 285mm discs.any help is much appreciated :D

you can get the 285's from k-tec, but whenn i got some they were around £100

if you go to GSF, ask too look at they're parts catalogue. The disc you want id off of a Renault 21 TXE or TXi I Think (not 100% sure though) but the catalogue would confirm the size/stud pattern
