406 Brakes Under 106 Rallye Wheels?

[GTI6BOY 29]

I know the maximum brake diameter you can have is 266mm under s2 106 rallye wheels.

 

I have just got some 2l 406 266mm brakes but not sure if they will fit

 

I will be running 1.9 hubs

 

cheers

the 266 s16 brakes fit, not sure if the 406 uses the same calipers though. al

i know 306 xsi & hdi fit but i have heard the 406 calipers might not?

have a butchers on the 106rallye forum (if youve not already), probably not a very common swap though

I need to know if they fit to the 205 gti hubs?

ah s*it, thought you meant under the rims. I've no idea then although alot of pug calipers fit onto 1.9 hubs so you'd of thought they would. I rekon grahams your man

406 uses a different hub, therefore 406 283mm calipers on a 205 need a 266 disk due to shorter carriers on the 406 calipers. guessing here but your 266mm will need a 249mm disk. Diff offset as well!

 

Save yourself the hassle and get some from a 306/206.

406 discs are generally wider, also a lower offset than 1.9 discs.

 

though the caliper will bolt on and be the right height, you wont get a thick enough disc to fit.
