Hi, I have KL-VERADA my plan is to replace 16inch wheels with 17 inch and like to upgrade front brakes with 380 front ones. Can you advice me is there enough clearnce?

yes will be fine for clearance. the 380 comes with either 16s or 17s.
380 brakes are a common mod. and will be very easy.

Hi Stormie, Thanks for you advice and its time to hunt for new wheels and tyres now...so with 17inch it will have more clearance for brakes then 16inch?? Thanks

Yes Dingers i will make thread WTB at moment having problems how to set it up....Thanks for your advice...

Wheels don't need changing btw - 380 brakes will clear your 16s.

Hi Life The only reason i am changing wheels for bigger tyres at moment i have 215/60/16 like to have 225 but according to car specification must have 17x7 wheels? Before i rush and spend money i like to be on right track here thanks for any info here..

Might as well go 17x8 :P
235/45/17 is a very common tyre.

Best to go with an 8 inch wide rims as will fill out the guards better. I have 18 x 8 Advanti Sbipers on mine with 235/40 x 18 Adrenalins and rides nice. Sits a wee bit high on std susp but is practicle for kerbs etc

Hi all 380 brakes fit on 16 inch without any problems and qute visible through mag wheels looks good and need to finish bleeding spunge brakes at moment probably still have some air in it... When i had drive noticed difference in brakes and conversion it worth cheers all Dean

Hi Dingers i am blown away with 380 brakes yesterday installed them and today finished bleeding and went for drive what a difference and fill safer now too also stopping distance is amazing thanks

Standard brakes will stop you in an emergency just as fast as 380 brakes. 380 brakes come into their own with repeated hard stopping

Hi this morning got rallyart enkie mag wheels 17X7 tyres are 225/50/17 Bridge stones, its very nice to drive and handles better now......
ps handbrake adjusted same time before installing new wheels

Mate take someones car for drive with 380 brakes and you will notice difference...now i can brake later and stop qucker then my standard brakes before....good luck with your decisions

i was just asking in reference to rear brakes... i thought 380 rears didnt fit.....

380 rears don't fit (not yet anyway).
Pretty sure AWD rears would, but I'm not sure how much better they are than standard.
I don't see why you'd need to upgrade front & rear. Upgrading just fronts to 380 would be more than enough for everyday driving. I'd say it would only be if you took it on the track you might wanna upgrade both... If you need to upgrade your front & rear brakes to stop faster, perhaps just think about braking earlier :D

DBA 4000 are one of the best afaik.

I went with the standard RDA rotors that Mits-fix sell and I'm quite happy with them. I've done a couple of mountain runs with them and, coupled with a set of QFM HP-X pads, they work a treat. I would suggest that high-end rotors are only needed for track or harsh street use.

The AWD twin piston calipers are for front only.

The rear Ralliart/AWD brakes have a slightly larger rotor, but it's still a single piston caliper. The more commonly available AWD calipers require a spacer to fit on FWD models. I would just keep the standard rotors (either get them machined, or buy a basic new set if necessary) and put a reasonable set of pads in.
