After looking on their website, it reccomends 18" wheels or bigger for the 356mm kit.

19" will be no problem but with the fact your offset is so high I would have thought a 5mm spacer.

But give forge a ring and speak to Kris. He'll help you out.  :happy2:

I'm not sure about Cumbria Vag, i broke my leg 7 weeks ago and had to have it plated and pinned, I get my cast off on Thursday but i'm still not supposed to drive for another 6 weeks so I'll just see how i feel and how the physio is coming on.  :ashamed:

Been looking at these but after doing some research seems they are cheaply made Chinese calipers branded forge? Anyone else heard this?

Heard this a few years back but I think forge being a big company wouldn't offer insufficient parts

Where are you based @maxitrol? I'm from Cockermouth originally, hoping to move back there in the next 12 months or so.
