Work wheel disk types.

[ianlea73]

I've been looking at your wheel shop & I'm a bit lost when it comes to the disk type options.
Could you explain the differences with pics if possible what the A, O & R options mean?
What would look best on the front axle & what would give the most dish on the rear axle?
I'm running 350mm wilwood disks & calipers on my Gloria.
CurrentlyI'm running 18x9 et10 & 18x10.5 et-6
Here's a pic of my car.

Hi there!

The Disk Types can be changed to accommodate different brake clearances.

A-Disk is "Standard" so will clear most OEM brakes
O-Disk is "Deep Dish" gives the least brake clearance but the most dish
R-Disk is "Big Caliper" is the flattest face normally to allow the largest calipers.

Here a little visual, if you want to discuss sizes/wheels for the Gloria then drop us an email - Shop@driftworks.com and we can put together some sizes!

Oh, and your Gloria is really cool!

That's brilliant info thank you.
You should add it to the wheels section as a sticky as when I googled it there were more questions than answers!
So it looks like R type for clearance on my wilwoods & O disk on the rear?
Due to the extended arches on the front & rear axles I want to get my coilovers on the rear etc before I start bombing you with emails.

It will depend on what wheel you are after as the spoke often determines brake clearance, alot of aftermarket brakes are actually smaller than some OEM brakes so gives more clearence
