Hey guys. I made a set of 1LE hubs in anticipation of a big brake upgrade because I wanted the extra width with my rims. I'm not seeing much. Anybody know what my options are with these hubs?

Thanks, Ryan

 

What options are you looking for?

 

Looking to do a Big Brake Upgrade with the 1LE hubs. Example c5/c6 disc.

 

Any brake upgrade will work with the same parts, just need to space the caliper brackets 5/16 or so outboard to match the hub and rotor offsets.

I used a Baer 6s setup with a custom hub and the correct spacers for the abutment brackets.

 

wasn't sure if it is 1/4" or 5/16" thicker that the bracket needs to be. I'm trying to search for the difference in front end width between standard and 1LE equipped cars.

 

You can use the same brackets, then simply purchase shims (washers, but built for shimming) the correct width. McmasterCarr for example sell a variety.

No sense using heavier, thicker brackets

 

Do you think 0.300" in shims will be safe?

 

I used almost 5/8 in shim, worked just fine

 

Since the 1LE hubs push the wheels out about 0.300" per side, wouldn't you be closer to 5/16" of shims per side?

 

I was running custom hubs, 1le offset plus another .25 offset added to the hubs when then were built.

 

Thanks for the reply //<86TA>\\
