Disc Brakes Mod

Using the brakes/calipers that came with the XS Tuning wheels I put on my RSX, I used them to install on my Gunmetal Skyline. I shaved the backs of them down flat. I drill the center holes out a little larger than the axle pins to allow them to rotate thru the brakes.I then painted the calipers red. I glued them to outer edge of bearing housings, not to interfere with the bearings. This allows the calipers to stay stationary when the wheels are rotating.

The brakes have a center cup that the wheels fit very nicely into. Adding these only pushed my wheels out less than a 1/16" and still left plenty of thread to mount the wheels.
