Will the 320mm brakes fit my 16" wheels?

Hi all,
forgive me if this has been asked repeatedly, but I could not find an answer in the search.

I'm wanting to upgrade my 2005 S40 T5 FWD to 320mm front brakes but I still have the stock
16" wheels. Will there be fitment issues with the new brakes and my 16" wheels?

Thank You,
Jason

I am going to say no b/c my 17' rims barely clear the 320 mm set up. I also read somewhere on here that the upgrade kit from viva is a little bit bigger even then the stock setup of 320mm. I dont know this as gospel but my car def. could not have 16in rims on it.

It may work, though I have strong reservation it will, but I doubt it would be great for the venting aspect of your rotors anyway, just a thought...

I can vouch for the 320mm fronts fitting with 16" Clavas, but I don't know if any other factory 16"s fit bro.

I agree with Isaac

There are Brake Caliper Templates - one can get on line to compare , and make one out of Car-broad to Test Fit .

Rotor has more then 1" per side and the Caliper has 3/4 inch on the Clavas Wheels .

Any Interference - would come from the Back side of the Spokes on the Mags You just Purchased . ( Send Up a Photo )
Pretty much would tell looking at them .

I haven't posted here much, but usually lurk around and read up on things. I do have a question though, is there an easy way to upgrade from the 300mm to the 320mm rotors? I would imagine different calipers or at least mounts would be needed, but I'm not sure. If this has been answered elsewhere, sorry for hijacking the thread and please point me to the correct thread.

Thanks,
J

If You Post for a for a Set someone Looking to Go to $1800.00 Alloy's might have a good used Set for You .

The Other Method would be to just Buy the Parts outright / @ / One of Our Parts Vendors . ( It is simple Bolt Up ) Plug and Play Swap !

I know I'm waaay too late for the party.

But I want to share this info to anybody looking to upgrade to 320mm brakes with 16" wheels.

Today at the junkyard I checked and 320's will fit in 16 inch "Caligo" rims.

And here's proof:
